364 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY cu.csione testuale" or what the French are accustomed to call an explication de texte. There is included in the volume a very critical review of a recent critique of Dewey by Renato Barilli in his Per Una Estetica Mondana (Bologna: I1 Mulino, 1964). The five works chosen for study are: Reconstruction in Philosophy, Human Nature and Conduct, Experience and Nature, The Quest for Certainty, and A Common Faith. Each work is discussed carefully and at the end of each of the five chapters are Note 9Postille, which contain extensive critical notes, cro~-references to other works by Dewey, and references to relevant literature. The expositions are excellent for clarification, interpretation, and correlation. The Notes, too, axe exceptionally informative. Thus the book makes an accurate and intelligent introduction to the major aspects of Dewey's philosophy. We would be fortunate to have so fine an introduction and explanatory text in English. H. W. S. Freedom of Choice A~rmed. By Corliss Lamont. (New York: Horizon Press, 1967. Pp. 214. $5.95) In addition to Corliss Lamont's own contributions to the argument, this volume contalus an impressive anthology of statements by philosophers and scientists, ancient, modern, and contemporary, giving various reasons for believing that the choices men make daily are genuine choices. Those who, in the face of abundant empirical evidence, wish to defend the speculative position of determinism clearly bear the burden of prooL This affirmation is more precise than the tradition on this subject, for it discards the antique concept of "~eewill " in favor of "freedom-to-choose" and admits that this freedom is always more or less limited by the actual possibilities, options, and alternatives. Accordingly, we are left free in our contingencies from worrying about freedom-to-choose, since we continually axe faced with the need-to-choose, and it transfers the worry and the responsibilities to the more practical problems of the kind and range of options, in short, the degrees of freedom-for-what.
