J. Dewey 哲學에 있어서의 社會思想에 관한 硏究 = A Study of Social Thought in J. Dewey's Philosophy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to draw out the implication of the interaction and transaction for Dewey's general theory of experience. In his various books he mentioned that interaction takes place in the full situation of organism-environment. The basic characteristic of things of Nature is 'interaction'. This is to say that things do not merely act ; they react or interact and in this interaction the onward movement of nature is carried out.
To learn to be human is to develop through the give-and-take of communication an effective sense of being an individually distinctive member of a community ; one who understands and appreciates its beliefs, desires and methods, and who contributes to a further conversion of organic powers into human resources and values. But this translation is never finished.
The keynote of democracy as a way of life may be expressed, it seems to me, as the necessity for the participation of every mature human being in formation of the values that regulate the living of men together : which is necessary from the standpoint of both the general social walfare and the full development of human beings as individuals. Liberalism has to assume the responsibility for making it clear that intelligence is a social asset and is clothed with a function as public as is its origin, in the concrete, is social cooperation.
