The Quest for Certainty

This volume presents an authoritative edition of Dewey's "The Quest for Certainty," based on his Gifford Lectures from 1929, which critically examine the relationship between knowledge and action. Dewey aims to challenge traditional philosophical approaches to achieving theoretical certainty, seeking to deconstruct longstanding philosophical assumptions. The work has been described as an effort to dismantle the foundations of classic philosophical tradition. Published by Southern Illinois University Press, it offers a thought-provoking exploration of Dewey's critical perspective on philosophy.
