Description

I explore the critique John Dewey presents at the end of Chapter 4 of 'Human Nature and Conduct,' specifically targeting Henri Bergson's concept of élan vital. This video delves into Dewey's alternative philosophy based on 'intelligent habit,' offering a nuanced critique of Bergson's transcendental ideas through the pragmatic lens of Deweyan thought.YouTube ChannelMusic By Jeffrey Anthony Books: Human Nature and Conduct by John Dewey  Creative Evolution by Henri BergsonContact:revivingvirtue@gmail.com
