„1919 reiste John Dewey für gut zwei Jahre nach China, um dort Vorlesungen zu verschiedenen Themen im ganzen Land zu halten. An der Universität Peking spricht er u. a. über Sozialphilosophie, erläutert, worin deren Aufgabe besteht, nämlich in der reflexiven Bewältigung von Konflikten, und wendet sich in dieser Perspektive dann klassischen Problemen der Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur zu. Die Vorlesungen gelten als einziger systematischer Beitrag Deweys zur Sozialphilosophie und werden nun zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch publiziert. Eine Entdeckung!“ #Dewey #Sozialphilosophie #China

Dewey: The Social Environment
Zitat
„A being whose activities are associated with others has a social environment. What he does and what he can do depend upon the expectations, demands, approvals, and condemnations of others. A being connected with other beings cannot perform his own activities without taking the activities of others into account. For they are the indispensable conditions of the realization of his tendencies.“ (Chap. Two, §2) #Dewey #TheSocialEnvironment
