The Middle Works of John Dewey, Volume 4, 1899 - 1924: Essays on Pragmatism and Truth, 1907-1909 (Collected Works of John Dewey)

By 1907, the first of the three years em braced by Volume 4, Dewey had aban doned thoughts of a possible career in the administration of higher education and was firmly established as a leading member of the Department of Phi losophy at Columbia. As Lewis Hahn points out in his Introduction, these were very productive years for Dewey. In addition to numerous lectures and speaking engagements and participa tion in professional meetings, he pub lished fifteen or so substantial articles, almost as many shorter things, a syl labus on The Pragmatic Movement of Contemporary Thought, a monograph on Moral Principles in Education, and, with J. H. Tufts, the first edition of a very popular textbook, Ethics.
