Qualitative Thought / Qualitatives Denken

In his essay, the American pragmatist John Dewey examines pressing questions: Everything that people can experience, whether in everyday life, art, or science, has a qualitative character. What role does this felt, lived dimension of experience play in our thinking and our linguistic communication about the world? This edition provides the English text, a new translation, and an afterword that traces the course of the argument and the impact of the classic essay up to the present day.

The series "Great Papers Philosophy" offers groundbreaking essays in philosophy: A verbatim, citable reproduction of the text (the foreign language original on the left, a new translation on the right). A historical contextualization of philosophy: How did people think about the problem in the past? What change did the essay bring about? How is it viewed today? An analysis of the text or a reconstruction of its argumentative structure, followed by a section about the author and a commented bibliography.
