Volume 15 completes the republication of Dewey's extensive writings for the 25-year period included in the Middle Works series. Many facets of Dewey's interests--politics, philosophy, education, and social con­cerns--are illuminated by the 40items from 1923and 1924.

Inspired by his own convictions and those of his friend Salmon O. Levinson, founder of the American Committee for the Outlawry of War, Dewey's articles became the keystone of the committee's campaign to outlaw war. His essay, "Logical Method and Law," is perhaps the most enduring of Dewey's writings in this volume. Dewey's philosophical discussions with Daniel Som­mer Robinson, David Wight Prall, Arthur Oncken Lovejoy, and Sterling Power Lamprecht are represented here, as is Dewey's assessment of the Turkish educa­tional system.
