John Dewey's View on Truth.
In this paper I am going to discuss John Dewey's view on truth. John Dewey is a famous American philosopher whose works are very well-known and provide a list of ideas that changed the traditional view on philosophy and truth. One may consider Dewey's philosophy as the most successful attempt to remold the traditional Anglo-Saxon empiricism. He wanted to see in intelligence, though asserting its primacy in human endeavour, only the instrument of action, the
static and the change less above the moving and the changing; to conceive knowledge as an ensemble of absolute truths and certainties, morality as obedience to principles or to ends also absolute; and to strive to construct reality in all its aspects out of fixed and ready-made elements.
