Features: "Experience and Nature" is Dewey's masterpiece and one of the most important works in the pragmatism tradition. If Peirce established the methodology of pragmatism and James built the truth view of pragmatism, then Dewey constructed the theoretical edifice of pragmatism, and this book is the cornerstone of that edifice. In the book, Dewey presents the fundamental views of his pragmatism philosophy, which he calls "naturalistic empiricism" or "empiricist naturalism." This perspective opposes the idea of completely separating humans from experience and nature, advocating for the establishment of continuity between "experience and nature," thereby creating a "unified whole of experience."
