Thank you, thank you!
If you're not a philosophy student, reading Dewey can be a hard row to hoe.
A couple of curious aspects of his life and career are that he was hired by the Russian/Soviet government to design and set up their educational system. It's possible that his work on that project is what created the Science/Missile Gap between our countries. Another curious thing: he claimed that he had taught himself to think without words, i.e., internal vocalization.
Last: In this book he doesn't claim to know WHY people and societies act as they do, instead he just describes WHAT they do, given a set of inputs. An Engineering student would immediately recognize this as the "Black Box" approach.
