Description
John Dewey published Experience and Nature in 1925, his main work of metaphysics. Dewey argues that experience is not a veil between us and nature. Experience is nature itself, as lived by creatures within it. Mind, body, and world form one continuous process.
He treats art, religion, logic, and science as modes of that process. The book gives pragmatism a systematic statement as a philosophy of nature. Critics call his view a naturalism that honors human values. The prose is dense in places but rich in insight. It remains a key text for students of American philosophy.
