John Dewey's Tentative Metaphysics: The Occidental Underground
Original language description
The paper is part of a big research of pragmatic conception of knowledge, constitution of the Self, of the society, and of democracy that is is carried out by The Central European Pragmatic Forum. The author attempts to show that every thought or theoryis based on a conception of the whole, of a metaphysics. Even thoughts and theories that explicitly deny this holistic background. This, on the other hand, does not mean that the metaphysics have to have permanent structure as it has been common in worksof great metaphysician of our Occidental tradition. By comparing the two types of metaphysics - the rigourous one and the tentative one - explaining this by way of examples of Aristotle's and Dewey's metaphysics, the author shows how could be use the (post)modern Dewey's approach to cognition and why this approach is more valuable these days than the traditional one.
