Edited and with an Introduction by Donald F. Koch LECTURES ON ETHICS, 1900 –1901 Dewey Southern Illinois University Press PHILOSOPHY Editor Donald F. Koch supplies the only extant complete transcription of the annual three-course sequence on ethics John Dewey gave at the University of Chicago. In his introduction Koch argues that these lectures offer the best systematic, overall introduction to Dewey’s approach to moral philosophy and are the only account showing the unity of his views in nearly all phases of ethical inquiry. These lectures are the only work by Dewey to set forth a complete theory of moral language. They offer a clear illustration of the central methodological questions in the development of a pragmatic instrumentalist ethic and the actual working out of the instrumentalist approach as distinct from simply presenting it as a conclusion. DONALD F. KOCH is a professor emeritus of philosophy at Michigan State University. He edited Principles of Instrumental Logic: John Dewey’s Lectures in Ethics and Political Ethics, 1895–1896 and is coeditor of Pragmatism and the Problem of Race. southern illinois university press 1915 University Press Drive Mail Code 6806 Carbondale, IL 62901 www.siu.edu/~siupress isbn 0-8093-2846-1 isbn 978-0-8093-2846-8 Printed in the United States of America LECTURES ON ETHICS, 1900–1901 John Dewey ...
