Changing the Paradigmatic Terms: A Response to David Foster

Donald C. Jones

From the article: "Rather than caution that Dewey 'chang[es] the terms' as Foster does, I want to stress that we must do so. Foster, however, perpetuates a dangerous dichotomy when he persists in thinking of Dewey in terms of a postmodern 'subjectivist' or a foundational 'individualistic framework' (335). Foster identifies Dewey with the second, but the dazzling difficulty and the philosophical brilliance of pragmatism is its reconception of basic philosophical terms and its avoidance of old problems."
