Proposes an ampampquotintracultural philosophyampampquot based on John Deweys ampampquotcultural turnampampquot and promotes Daoist thought as a resource that can help to reconstruct outmoded assumptions that continue to shape how we currently think.In this timely and original work Deweys lateperiod ampampquotcultural turnampampquot is recovered and ampampquotintracultural philosophyampampquot proposed as its next logical stepa step beyond what is commonly known as comparative philosophy. The first of two volumes John Dewey and Daoist Thought argues that early Chinese thought is poised to join forces with Dewey in meeting our most urgent cultural needs namely helping us to correct our outdated Greekmedieval assumptions especially where these result in preDarwinian inferences about the world.Relying on the latest research in both Chinese and American philosophies Jim Behuniak establishes ampampquotspecific philosophical relationshipsampampquot between Deweys ideas and early Daoist thought suggesting how together they can assist us in getting our thinking ampampquotback in gearampampquot with the world as it is currently known through the biological physical and cognitive sciences. Topics covered include the organization of organic form teleology cosmology knowledge the body and technologthus engaging Dewey with themes generally associated with Daoist thought.
