Description du livre
Experience and Nature (1925) is one of John Dewey’s most significant philosophical works, offering a deep and challenging inquiry into the relationship between human experience and the natural world. In this ambitious book, Dewey argues that experience is rooted in nature—not separate from it—and that philosophy must begin with the realities of lived experience, rather than abstract metaphysical concepts.
Bridging naturalism, pragmatism, and empirical philosophy, Dewey explores how human thought, values, art, and science arise from natural interactions and evolve through continuous adaptation. He challenges dualisms such as mind vs. body, subject vs. object, and theory vs. practice, proposing instead a unified, dynamic view of reality.
With its rich insights and systematic scope, Experience and Nature remains a cornerstone of American philosophical thought—an essential text for those interested in pragmatism, philosophy of experience, epistemology, and the foundations of human understanding.
