The Public and Its Problems

Written by John Dewey

Narrated by James Harrington

"The Public and Its Problems" by John Dewey is a seminal work in political philosophy and social theory that explores the nature of democracy, the challenges it faces, and the role of the public in addressing societal problems. In this thought-provoking book, Dewey examines the relationship between democracy, individualism, and the collective responsibility of the public. Dewey begins by critiquing the traditional notion of the public as a mere aggregation of individual interests. He argues that a true understanding of the public must transcend individualism and focus on the shared concerns and aspirations that bind society together. He emphasizes the importance of public intelligence and deliberation in addressing the complex problems faced by modern democratic societies. Read in English, unabridged.
