Professor Hook says that the publicaÂtions in this volume reveal John Dewey at the height of his philosophical powÂers. Even though his greatest works were still to come—Democracy and Education, Experience and Nature, The Quest for Certainty,and Logic: The Theory of Inquiry—“thethemes elaborated thereÂin were already sounded and developed with incisive brevity in the articles and books of this banner year.â€
