A Marx/Dewey Dialogue on the Prospects for an American Socialism
Abstract
Discusses family resemblances between the philosophical and social outlooks of Karl Marx and John Dewey. Despite fundamental differences (for example Dewey′s meliorism versus Marx′s commitment to revolutionary struggle), the degree of their philosophical compatibility is considerable. There are, for example, striking parallels between their respective versions of epistemological pragmatism and naturalism. Discusses in detail resemblances between their respective critiques of liberal capitalism.
