Abstract

124 the plur a list 8 : 1 2013 Seeing Together: Mind, Matter, and the Experimental Outlook of John Dewey and Arthur F. Bentley Frank X. Ryan. Great Barrington: American Institute for Economic Research, 2011. In the past twenty years, scholarly interest in John Dewey’s later writings has surged. While later works such as Art as Experience (1934), Logic: The Theory of Inquiry (1938), and Freedom and Culture (1939) have received considerable attention, Knowing and the Known (1949), Dewey’s late-in-life collaboration with Arthur F. Bentley, has been largely neglected. A common bias among Dewey scholars is that this work, instead of developing Dewey’s Logic, de- parts from its spirit, reflects the overbearing influence of Bentley on Dewey (who was at the time an octogenarian), and, therefore, merits little serious scholarly consideration. However, Dewey and Bentley engaged in an extended correspondence, collected in John Dewey and Arthur Bentley: A Philosophical Correspondence, 1932–1951 (1964), the result of which was no less than a wa- tershed moment in Dewey’s thinking on the experimental method of inquiry.
