John Dewey's philosophy emphasizes the interplay between societal events, beliefs, and ethical theory, as demonstrated in his writings. The analysis of his collaboration with James H. Tufts in "Ethics" reveals a significant evolution in Dewey's thought between the 1908 and 1932 editions, reflecting the tumultuous changes in America and globally during that period. Edel's comparative study highlights Dewey's view of ethics as dynamic and culturally embedded, addressing the challenges posed by industrialism, war, and the rise of totalitarianism, while emphasizing the connection between theory and practice.
