Notes
[i] From Robert Jacques: "Another scholar claims he had not sense
that modern alienation derives from a loss of religion and can only be remedied
by religion, not social action; and that his belief in intelligence
disseminated throughout democracy by means of education renders undeniable the
conclusion that 'Dewey did have an optimistic outlook' (Bernstein, 1966: 176)
[from Jacques, 1991]
[ii] From Melvin Rogers: “Raymond Boisvert adds to
West’s mischaracterization when he suggests that “sensitivity to inherent
natural limitations is decidedly underemphasized” in Dewey’s work.”
[iii] From Eric MacGilvray: Bourne's central thesis, stated again and again, is
that the use of war as a means of intelligent reconstruction is impossible:
"War is just that absolute situation which is its own end and its own
means." "Conscience and Intelligence in War" (1917), in John Dewey: The Political Writings, ed.
Debra Morris and Ian Shapiro (Indianapolis: Hackett, 1993), 200. His diagnosis
is not that pragmatism is incapable of projecting ends, as is commonly held,
but rather that in war- time all ends are subordinated to those of war itself:
war is "precisely the one situation in which [Dewey's] philosophy will no
longer work." Ibid., 199, emphasis mine.

[xi] From Melvin Rogers
[xii] From Robert Jacques: Claimed Dewey has no sense of irony, “paradox
and tragedy,” alienation from disestablishment of traditional moral and
spiritual authorities, has a “strongly optimistic view of the inherent harmony
between mankind’s needs and the structure of the cosmos.”
[xiii] Per James Good, there are many critiques of whether a Deweyan
individual can withdraw from culture in order to critique it. These are rooted in three concerns:
1.
overconfidence in prospects of self-sacrifice for social good
2. doubt
that instrumentalism can critically assess means and ends
3. truth
is a (passive) adaptation to the environment
