Synopsis

This ninth volume in The Later Works of John Dewey, 1925 1953, brings together sixty items from 1933 and 1934, including Dewey’s Terry Lec­tures at Yale University, published as A Common Faith.

 

In his introduction, Milton R. Konvitz concludes that A Common Faith remains a provocative book, an intellectual teaser,’ an essay at religious philoso­phy which no philosopher can wholly bypass.”

 

Dewey concentrated much of his writing in 1933 and 1934 on issues arising from the economic crises of the Great Depression. In the early 1930s Com­munist activity in the New York Teachers Union in­creased. The Report of the Special Grievance Committee of the Teachers Union is published in this volume, as is Dewey’s impromptu address, On the Grievance Committee’s Report,” made when he presented that report. Rounding out the volume are eighteen arti­cles from the People’s Lobby Bulletin.
