Wovon es handelt

Der Sammelband von 1903, in dem Dewey und seine Chicagoer Kollegen ihre Auffassung des Denkens darlegten: nicht als Spiegel der Welt, sondern als Werkzeug, um aus einer Schwierigkeit herauszukommen.

Kontext und Geschichte

Dewey zeichnet vier Aufsätze, die übrigen stammen von seinen Schülern; das Buch schuf, was man die Chicagoer Schule des Pragmatismus nannte. Die These lautet, die Logik habe nicht ewige Formen zu untersuchen, sondern die wirkliche Forschung: das Denken setzt ein, wenn eine Lage fraglich wird, entwirft Annahmen, prüft sie und endet, wenn die Lage wieder gangbar ist. Wahrheit ist in diesem Schema keine Übereinstimmung, sondern das Ergebnis einer gut geführten Untersuchung. William James begrüßte das Buch als die Reife des Pragmatismus; Russell sah darin eine Verwechslung von Wissen und Handeln. Die Erörterung geht in den „Essays in Experimental Logic“ weiter, die ebenfalls im Korpus stehen.

Redaktioneller Kontext, keine zitierfähige Quelle: anders als die Passagen des Werks lassen sich diese Angaben nicht am Korpus überprüfen.

Wie es beginnt
This volume presents some results of the work done in the matter of logical theory in the Department of Philosophy of the University of Chicago in the first decade of its existence. The eleven Studies are the work of eight different hands, all, with the exception of the editor, having at some period held Fellowships in this University, Dr. Heidel in Greek, the others in Philosophy. Their names and present pursuits are indicated in the Table of Contents. The editor has occasionally, though rarely, added a footnote or phrase which might serve to connect one Study more closely with another. The pages in the discussion of Hypothesis, on Mill and Whewell, are by him. With these exceptions, each writer is individually and completely responsible for his own Study. The various Studies present, the editor believes, about the relative amount of agreement and disagreement that is natural in view of the conditions of their origin. The various writers have been in contact with one another in Seminars and lecture courses in pursuit of the same topics, and have had to do with shaping one another's views. There are several others, not represented in this volume, who have also participated in the evolution of the point of view herein set forth, and to whom the writers acknowledge their indebtedness. The disagreements proceed from the diversity of interests with which the different writers approach the logical topic; and from the fact that the point of view in question is still (happily) developing and showing no signs of becoming a closed system. If the Studies themselves do not give a fair notion of the nature and degree of the harmony in the different writers' methods, a preface is not likely to succeed in so doing. A few words may be in place, however, about a matter repeatedly touched upon, but nowhere consecutively elaborated--the more ultimate philosophical bearing of what is set forth.…
