<p>As one of America’s "public intellectuals," John Dewey was engaged in a lifelong struggle to understand the human mind and the nature of human inquiry. According to Thomas C. Dalton, the successful pursuit of this mission demanded that Dewey become more than just a philosopher; it compelled him to become thoroughly familiar with the theories and methods of physics, psychology, and neurosciences, as well as become engaged in educational and social reform. Tapping archival sources and Dewey’s extensive correspondence, Dalton reveals that Dewey had close personal and intellectual ties to scientists and scholars who helped form the mature expression of his thought. Dewey’s relationships with F. M. Alexander, Henri Matisse, Niels Bohr, Myrtle McGraw, and Lawrence K. Frank, among others, show how Dewey dispersed pragmatism throughout American thought and culture. </p>

<p>In the 1930s John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek set economics on a new course by asking “how do rational people deal with the problem of economic scarcity when they are ignorant about both the options available to them and the consequences of their actions?” Their ensuing debate profoundly altered our view of ourselves as decision makers and our predictions about the trajectory of economies and societies. The separate views of Keynes and Hayek about what it means to know laid the foundation for their clash over macroeconomics. The untold story is how the tendrils of these ideas spread to fields of economics and philosophy far beyond macroeconomic theory. The second edition contains three new chapters; The Anatomy of Catallaxy, Learning and Adaptation and Collective Learning, Philosophy and Institutions. It also provides complimentary access to an interactive simulation of the emergence of market activity. Tables and figures have been enhanced in the second edition.</p>
