Marking the centennial of John Dewey's Experience and Nature (1925), this volume offers the first book-length critical guide to what is widely considered Dewey's philosophical masterpiece. Written by an international team of leading scholars, the book explores Experience and Nature's enduring relevance across a range of fields, including philosophy, science, education, aesthetics, political theory, and cultural studies. Each chapter addresses key themes and concepts from Dewey's work-such as naturalism, embodiment, value, language, and the continuity of experience and nature-while situating them in relation to contemporary debates. This interdisciplinary volume is ideal for students and researchers in pragmatism, American philosophy, intellectual history, and democratic theory. Clear, engaging, and rich, it is an essential resource for understanding one of the most ambitious and original contributions to twentieth-century philosophy.
