Faculty Publications
This essay examines the poetry of John Dewey, 101 poems in total. Characteristic of the rhymed and metered poetry of the period, they show a very human side of Dewey.

On a deeper level these poems are also show connections to Dewey’s philosophy, in particular his ideas about social change and dualism.
