About this listen

In this first part of a four-part series on his influential work, Human Nature and Conduct, Dewey presents Social Psychology as both a physical science and a social science, akin to Biology and Chemistry. He introduces the concept of HABIT as a key term that encapsulates the dynamic interaction between individuals and their environments, shaping moral judgments. Dewey famously states, All habits are demands for certain kinds of activity; and they constitute the self, emphasizing that Habits are Will. Join William Jones as he brings Deweys insights to life in this captivating summary.
