This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

This insightful treatise on the essential components of human nature by the great American philosopher and educator John Dewey, in his own words, ôsets forth a belief that an understanding of habit and of different types of habit is the key to social psychology, while the operation of impulse and intelligence gives the key to individualized mental activity.ö Beginning with habits, Dewey discusses these basic patterns of conduct as essential mechanisms that allow individuals to coexist harmoniously within society and to adjust to the outer environment. The process of habit formation is a major part of childhood education as the growing individual learns the established modes of behavior in society.In the next section Dewey focuses on impulses, which motivate action and are regulated in response to the reactions of others and the learned habits that the society around us instills. Intelligence, the subject of the next part, in DeweyÆs view, is the chief instrument that allows human beings to act creatively and experimentally in response to the demands of both inner impulses and outer challenges. How we use our intelligence to deal with our impulses and habits reflects individual variations of character and largely determines life destinies.Intelligence is also the key to morality. If we use our intelligence to make moral judgments based on a clear understanding of empirical facts, then there is a far better chance, says Dewey, that our judgments will be good and our actions right, than if we blindly accept moral rules from traditional authorities or unthinkingly give way to natural instincts. Unless we use the tool of intelligence to understand the natural world around us and our own human nature, we cannot make wise value judgments to serve our best interests.Some eighty years after its original publication, DeweyÆs commonsensical approach, rooted in experience and objective observation, still has much to recommend it to students of ethics, psychology, and sociology.
