How We Think (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

By John Dewey and Gerald L. Gutek

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. At a time when we are incessantly bombarded with factoids and infomercials, John Dewey's How We Think advises us to step back from the noisy clutter of the information age. The acquisition of information, no matter how voluminous, by itself, is neither knowledge nor critical thinking. In How We Think, Dewey provides a clear but profound philosophical analysis of how we transform ideas into instruments to solve our personal, social, and political problems.
