"Human Nature and Conduct" is a seminal work by the American philosopher and psychologist John Dewey, published in 1922. This book is a profound exploration of the intricate relationship between human nature and human behavior, reflecting Dewey's influential contributions to the fields of philosophy and psychology.Dewey's central premise is that human conduct is not solely determined by inherent, fixed traits but is profoundly shaped by the ongoing interaction between an individual's innate tendencies and their social and environmental context. He emphasizes the dynamic nature of human behavior and the impact of social influences in shaping individual actions.Dewey's work challenges rigid notions of human nature and highlights the flexibility and adaptability of human behavior in response to various situations and stimuli. He argues that individuals are not passive products of their genetic makeup but active agents who engage with and respond to their surroundings.Throughout "Human Nature and Conduct," Dewey explores the role of habit, culture, and education in molding human conduct. He argues that habits are the bridge between human nature and conduct, as they encapsulate an individual's past experiences and responses. Culture and education, according to Dewey, play crucial roles in shaping these habits and, consequently, human behavior.Dewey's philosophical and psychological insights extend to ethics and morality. He contends that ethical behavior arises from a sense of responsibility within a social context, where individuals are mindful of the consequences of their actions on the broader community. This perspective challenges traditional, rigid ethical frameworks and supports a more pragmatic and context-sensitive approach.In summary, "Human Nature and Conduct" by John Dewey is a profound exploration of the dynamic relationship between human nature and behavior. Dewey's work challenges fixed notions of human nature, highlighting the influence of social and environmental factors. It underscores the adaptability and responsiveness of individuals in shaping their own conduct. Dewey's insights extend to ethics and education, promoting a more flexible and context-sensitive approach to understanding human behavior and morality.

"A modern classic. Dewey's lectures have lost none of their vigor ... The historical approach, which underlay the central argument, is beautifully exemplified in his treatments of the origin of philosophy." - Philosophy and Phenomenological Research . "It was with this book that Dewey fully launched his campaign for experimental philosophy." - The New Republic. Written shortly after the shattering effects of World War I, John Dewey's Reconstruction in Philosophy offers an insightful introduction to the concept of pragmatic humanism. The eminent philosopher presents persuasive arguments against traditional philosophical constructs, suggesting their basis in self-justification; instead, he proposes an examination of core values in terms of their ultimate effects on the self and others. Dewey's experimental philosophy represented a significant departure from its predecessor, utilitarianism, and it was received with both outrage and acclaim for daring to mingle ethics and science. Delivered in 1919 as a series of lectures at Tokyo's Imperial University of Japan, Dewey's landmark work appears here in an enlarged edition that features an informative introduction by the author, written more than 25 years after the book's initial publication.

In the main, the course of philosophic thought since the time of Leibniz has been such as to render almost self-evident his limitations, and to suggest needed corrections and amplifications. Indeed, it is much easier for those whose thoughts follow the turn that Kant has given modern thinking to appreciate the defects of Leibniz than to realize his greatness. I have endeavored, therefore, in the body of the work, to identify my thought with that of Leibniz as much as possible, to assume his standpoint and method, and, for the most part, to confine express criticism upon his limitations to the final chapter. In particular, I have attempted to bring out the relations of philosophy to the growing science of his times, to state the doctrine of pre-established harmony as he himself meant it, and to give something like consistency and coherency to his doctrine of material existence and of nature. This last task seemed especially to require doing. I have also endeavored to keep in mind, throughout, Leibniz's relations to Locke, and to show the "Nouveaux Essais" as typical of the distinction between characteristic British and German thought.
