The contributions appear in a kind of chronological order. First, James A. Good examines the repeatedly asserted Hegelian roots of Dewey’s philosophy, while Hans-Peter Krüger, Meike Sophia Baader, and Roswitha Lehmann-Rommel address specific aspects of pragmatism, such as public communication, religion, and aesthetics, with the main emphasis of the analysis on William James and John Dewey. Jane Addams’ and George Herbert Mead’s education stands at the center of interest in the contributions by Daniel Tröhler, Birgit Althans, Gert Biesta, and Jürgen Oelkers, while Philipp Gonon and Stefan Bittner turn to the question of why pragmatism had such a hard time of gaining a foothold in Germany. The final contribution, Philip W. Jackson’s systematic analysis of Dewey’s thought, breaks with the chronological perspective of the volume, shifting the focus to other central and fruitful issues.
