For example, Dewey believed that students should be involved in real-life tasks and challenges: maths could be learnt via learning proportions in cooking or figuring out how long it would take to get from one place to....[more] |

| Written shortly after the shattering effects of World War I, this volume offers an insightful introduction to the concept of pragmatic humanism.

That is to say, how shall we make our psychology scientific and up to the times, free from metaphysics-which, however good in its place, is out of place in a psychology-and at the same time make it an introduction to philosophy in general?
