De qué trata
El volumen colectivo de 1903 con que Dewey y sus colegas de Chicago presentaron su manera de entender el pensamiento: no como un espejo del mundo sino como una herramienta para salir de una dificultad.
Contexto e historia
Dewey firma ahí cuatro ensayos y el resto son de sus discípulos; el libro creó lo que se conoció como la «escuela de Chicago» del pragmatismo. La tesis es que la lógica no debe estudiar formas eternas sino la investigación real: el pensamiento empieza cuando una situación se vuelve problemática, formula hipótesis, las prueba y termina cuando la situación vuelve a ser practicable. La verdad, en este esquema, no es una correspondencia sino el resultado de una investigación bien hecha. William James saludó el libro como la madurez del pragmatismo; Russell vio ahí una confusión entre saber y actuar. La discusión continúa en «Ensayos de lógica experimental», también en el corpus.

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.…
