America's most renowned social philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) shines his penetrating intellect on the serious public & culture issue of the place of the individual in a technologically advanced society. Many believe that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, & an industrialized cultural of uniformity. Armed with his pragmatic approach & his belief in the power of critical intelligence, Dewey argues that individualism has in fact been offered a uniquely higher plan of technological development upon which to grow, mature, & redefine itself.
