The Middle Works of John Dewey, Volume 14, 1899 - 1924: Human Nature and Conduct 1922

An authoritative edition of Human Nature and Conduct, this work sets forth John Dewey's view that habits are social functions, and that social phenomena, such as habit and custom and scientific methods of inquiry, are both moral and natural. Dewey concludes, "Within the flickering inconsequential acts of separate selves dwells a sense of the whole which claims and dignifies them. In its presence we put off mortality and live in the universal."
