Chronology of John Dewey's Life and Work Updated 11/30/16 CHRONOLOGY OF JOHN DEWEY'S LIFE AND WORK UPDATED 11/30/16 Compiled by Barbara Levine The following chronology has been a work in progress. Changes were made as Dewey's correspondence was transcribed and as additional information was gathered from other sources. Bracketed material lists the source of that information. It is assumed that Dewey’s permission was granted when listed as a member, sponsor, or signer of an organization or committee. The chronology evolved as work progressed at the Center for Dewey Studies. Due to the closure of The Center, I will no longer be updating this chronology. I would hope that the listing is complete enough to be of use to scholars who are studying and writing about John Dewey. It has been my pleasure to do so!

There is a strik­ ing resemblance between the writings of the temperamental Scot­ tish moralist and the rhapsodies of the stern prophets of Isra­ el. Imos and Carlyle are at one in condemning the indolent rich for "selling the needy for a pair of shoes." They share a common attitude in their bitter denunciation of an institution­ alized religion which has hid the light of spiritual power to the point of extinction under the bushel of ecclesiastical formalism. Carlyle, though he turned away from the gates of a clerical career, became the outstanding religionist of his century, touching liberal thinkers in all fields of social en­ deavor those of the church, ^together with those of the political arena.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

  • America's Economic Way Of
    |America’s Economic Way of War How did economic and financial factors determine how America waged war in the twentieth century? This important new book exposes the influence of economics and finance on the questions of whether the nation should go to war, how wars would be fought, how resources would be mobilized, and the long-term consequences for the American economy. Ranging from the Spanish–American War to the Gulf War, Hugh Rockoff explores the ways in which war can provide unique opportunities for understanding the basic principles of economics as wars produce immense changes in monetary and fiscal policy and so provide a wealth of infor- mation about how these policies actually work. He shows that wars have been more costly to the United States than most Americans realize as a substantial reliance on borrowing from the public, money creation, and other strategies to finance America’s war efforts have hidden the true cost of war. hugh rockoff is a professor of Economics at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His publications include numerous papers in professional journals, The Free Banking Era: A Re-examination (1975), Drastic Measures: A History of Wage and Price Controls in the United States (1984), and a textbook, History of the American Economy (2010, with Gary Walton).

ALMOND Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1987 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. HAROLD DWIGHT LASSWELL February 13, 1902-December 18, 1978 BY GABRIEL A. ALMOND AROLD D. LASSWELL ranks among the half dozen cre- Hative innovators in the social sciences in the twentieth century. Few would question that he was the most original and productive political scientist of his time. While still in his twenties and early thirties, he planned and carried out a re- search program demonstrating the importance of personal- ity, social structure, and culture in the explanation of political phenomena. In the course of that work he employed an array of methodologies that included clinical and other kinds of interviewing, content analysis, para-experimental tech- niques, and statistical measurement. It is noteworthy that two decades were to elapse before this kind of research program and methodology became the common property of a disci- pline that until then had been dominated by historical, legal, and philosophical methods. Lasswell was born in 1902 in Donnellson, Illinois (popu- lation ca. 300). His father was a Presbyterian clergyman, his mother, a teacher; an older brother died in childhood. His early family life was spent in small towns in Illinois and In- diana as his father moved from one pulpit to another, and it stressed intellectual and religious values.

  • Dewey's Cultural Theory and Psychology When the History Of
    Dewey’s Cultural Theory and Psychology When the history of Cultural Psychology is being discussed one often encounters the names of Lazarus, Steinthal, and Wundt in Germany, Rivers and Bartlett in Britain, and Vygotsky in the former Soviet Union. Missing from mention is the name of the American John Dewey. This is understandable since he did not explicitly formulate a theory of culture and psychology but, nonetheless, the theme runs throughout his numerous publications. It is this that I shall endeavor to encapsulate and, in the process, reveal Dewey’s anticipation and rejection of evolutionary psychology. Such a task is impossible to do justice to in a limited space but I hope that I may at least offer some signposts to where the mind of this seminal thinker may be mined. In his eightieth year, while reflecting back upon his psychological theorizing, Dewey (1939a) noted that the traditional, mentalistic psychology was being transformed by biology and cultural anthropology. Human experience (experience meaning here “participation in activities,” and “of doings and undergoings”) is what it is, he contended, because of its subjection to cultural agencies and intercommunication. In retrospect, he referred to the approach that he had been developing as “socio-biological psychology” and “biological- cultural psychology.” His intention, with these appellations, was to convey the idea that cultures stimulate innate tendencies and remake them; they promote and consolidate those tendencies into patterns of purposes that are fitted to the prevailing cultural conditions (Dewey, 1939/1989). According to Dewey the biological constitution of humans is common to the people of whatever grouping and, because of that, innate tendencies cannot be appealed to in accounting for the differences between groups.
