America's social philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) shines his intellect on the serious public and cultural
issues surrounding the place of the individual in a technologically advanced society. Many believe that personal
creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialized culture
of uniformity. Armed with his pragmatic approach and his belief in the power of critical intelligence, Dewey argues
that individualism has in fact been offered a uniquely higher plane of technological development upon which to
grow, mature, and redefine itself.
