James A. Good is Professor of History at North Harris College in Houston, Texas.

With a rare and impressive blend of philosophical sophistication and historical scholarship James Good sheds a penetrating light on John Dewey’s intellectual indebtedness to Hegel, a subject of considerable controversy among Deweyan scholars and biographers. Good’s judicious handling of this contentious topic makes A Search for Unity in Diversity a book that is bound to interest not only Dewey's many critics and admirers but all who are broadly interested in the history and current status of American philosophy.
