Dewey is another pragmatist. he claims that Darwinism provides an instructive model for understanding the relations and tensions between human beings and their environment. also, like James and Pierce, he believes that traditional empiricism (that what we can know is ultimately tethered to experience) isn't good enough on its own. it has to satisfy the dire needs and desires of people who need a philosophy. in fact, a viable philosophy has to address the urgent (although sometimes wholly unremarkable) concerns of the laymen.


er, uh, that's all i really know about Dewey.
