Studies in Logical Theory

John Dewey

Sinopse

In "Studies in Logical Theory," John Dewey presents a comprehensive exploration of logic, emphasizing its practical implications in human experience and inquiry. This work is characterized by a blend of analytic rigor and philosophical reflection, challenging traditional notions of static truth and advocating for a more dynamic understanding of logic intertwined with experience. Dewey asserts that logical reasoning is not merely an abstract discipline but is fundamentally rooted in human activity, emphasizing the importance of context and adaptability in thought processes—an argument that situates his work within the pragmatist tradition emerging at the turn of the 20th century. John Dewey, a prominent figure in American philosophy and education, was instrumental in shaping the pragmatist school of thought. His experiences as an educator and philosopher led him to prioritize practical consequences in logical analysis, reflecting his belief that knowledge should be actionable and responsive to real-world situations. Dewey's educational background in psychology and his commitment to democratic ideals profoundly influenced his philosophical inquiries, ultimately culminating in this seminal work that bridges the divide between logic and experiential learning. "Studies in Logical Theory" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of logic, psychology, and education. Dewey's insights encourage readers to reconsider the purpose of reasoning in a rapidly changing world, making this book not just a theoretical treatise but also a guide for practical decision-making. For educators, philosophers, and students alike, Dewey's work remains a crucial text that challenges us to think critically and apply logic thoughtfully within our lived experiences.

The Uncollected Essays of...

Elizabeth Hardwick, Alex Andriesse

Essays on music, art, pop culture, literature, and politics by the renowned essayist and observer of contemporary life, now collected together for the first time. 
 
 
 
The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick is a companion collection to The Collected Essays, a book that proved a revelation of what, for many, had been an open secret: that Elizabeth Hardwick was one of the great American literary critics, and an extraordinary stylist in her own right. The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here—none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick's work—make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner's Parsifal to Leonardo da Vinci's inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick's passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.

Disappearance of the Surcouf...

Editors Charles River

When the Surcouf launched in 1929, it was a technological marvel. This wasn’t a conventional submarine at all, but a 3,300-ton, 300-foot-long submersible light cruiser. Armed not just with torpedoes but also a pair of eight-inch guns, the Surcouf had a range of over 10,000 miles and was equipped with a seaplane in a hanger and a prison capable of holding up to 40 prisoners. When it was launched, the submarine looked like something out of the novels of Jules Verne, and many people believed it would make all existing submarines (and many surface warships) obsolete. However, by the time France found itself at war with Nazi Germany in 1939, the Surcouf was outdated and basically irrelevant, though it was still in active service with the French Navy.
When France was defeated by Nazi Germany in June 1940, the majority of French troops and warships ceased fighting. However, some relocated to Britain, the only nation still fighting Germany, to join Free French forces under the command of the charismatic General Charles De Gaulle. The crew of the Surcouf joined the Free French Navy and served from late 1940 to February 1942, when she called in at the British port of Bermuda before sailing for the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific. On February 12, the Surcouf left Bermuda en route for Tahiti via the Panama Canal and was never seen again.
There have been many theories about what might have happened to the Surcouf and her 130-man crew, ranging from an accidental collision to sabotage and even accidental (or deliberate) attacks by her allies. As a result, the fate of the Surcouf has become one of the most enduring and baffling maritime mysteries, and it still generates a great deal of debate.
