During the three years embraced by Volume 7, Dewey published twenty articlesand reviews, one of the articles of monograph-length, The Psychology of Social Behavior, one small book, Interest and Effort in Education, and sev enty encyclopedia articles.
A salient and arresting feature of the essays is the continuing polemic be tween Dewey and some of his critics. Ralph Ross, whose perceptive Introduc tion to the volume provides a broad per spective of the various philosophicalcontroversies in which Dewey was en gaged, comments that when Dewey was pitting himself against important adversaries, his talents as a critic were fully evident.
