"Forstenzer's book is a timely and well-researched contribution to the ongoing development of pragmatist political philosophy . . . It is exemplary in its scholarship and focus, and Forstenzer's aspirations to bring Dewey into conversation with contemporary political philosophy are welcome and fecund." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"This inspiring work combines informed and insightful exposition of Dewey’s philosophy with clear and compelling arguments about how to practice philosophy in ways relevant to concrete social and political problems. The scholarship is impressive, the attention to differing views responsible, and the writing style engaging. This is a valuable book for both students and scholars." – Martin Coleman, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, USA
