John Dewey was________ with logic and inquiry _________ his entire career. His ________ book entitled Studies in _________ Theories led Henry James to _____ ____ the “Chicago school of _________” with Dewey as its leader. In discussing logic and ______, Dewey’s _______ point is straightforward: human _______ think, reason and inquire in an ______ to reach their goals. If all our __________ were satisfied naturally without _____, thinking would have no _______ value. It would be pragmatically _______. But Dewey ____ ____ that our desires are not always ______. This takes effort. We often _____ we can’t _____ our goals or, having reached them, that we should have aimed at other _____. So if we seek ________, appreciation and ______, we have to inquire into and ________ our own experience. “Philosophy is inherently _____, having its distinctive _______ among various modes of criticism in its generality, a criticism of criticisms as it were. Criticism is _________ judgement, careful appraisal, and ________ is appropriately termed “criticism” wherever the _____ ______ of discrimination concerns goods or values.” Charles Peirce, the _______ philosopher and ________ who founded pragmatism and who significantly ______Dewey makes clear that this new philosophical criticism and ______ depend on new methods and procedures of _______. “Modern _____ have created modern _____, in this century, and especially the ___ twenty-five years have done _____ to create new methods than any _____ equal period. We live in the very ____ of methods. Even mathematics and ________ have put on new ______. Chemistry and physics are on completely new tracks. Linguistics, _____, mythology, _______, biology, are all getting _______ in new ways. This is the age of methods.” Dewey says that the __________, unlike the sociologist and anthropologist must ________ how people ought to think as much as how they ______ do think. The philosopher seeks to find a pattern of successful inquiry. “We know that _____ methods of inquiry are ______ than others in just the _____ ______ that we know that some methods of surgery, farming, road making, ______, or what not, are better than _____. It does not follow, in any of these _______, that the better methods are _______ perfect, or that they are regulative or _________ because of _________ to some absolute form.” Dewey’s ____ about good and bad methods of inquiry has three _______ consequences. First, ________ to most previous philosophy, we can’t ______ the way we ought to think from some laws of ______or rules of ________. Instead our logic and our rules must be derived from _______ inquiries. Put in philosophical terms our ______ must be derived from our _____. Put more plainly, our theories have to be derived from our ______. Traditional philosophers discussed _____, logical _______, they’re noted for ________ and pondering rather than _______ and acting. But Dewey _______ action primary. Action is the _______ of his pragmatism. Action is the central ______ of his book: Logic “The theory in _______ form is that all logical _______ arise within the operations of inquiry and are concerned with ______ of inquiry so that it may yield warranted _______.

This conception _____ much more than that logical forms are disclosed or come to _______ when we reflect upon processes of inquiry that are ___ _____. Of course, it means that. But it also means that the forms ______ in operations of inquiry.” Second, again ______ to most philosophy, Dewey _____ that any deficiency of inquiry can be ______ only by further inquiry. Inquiry can _______ itself by itself. “the problem, ________ to its lowest terms, is whether inquiry can _______ in its own ongoing course the logical ________ and forms to which ____inquiry shall submit. One might reply by saying that _____ because it has. One might even ______ the objector to produce a single instance of _______ in scientific methods not produced in an ____ the self corrective process of inquiry.” Third, Dewey says that a _______ of inquiry may illuminate and _________ actual inquiries but it can’t abstractly __________ or pre-judge them. “The search for the pattern of inquiry is ________ and controlled by ______ of the kinds of inquiry that have and that have not worked. Through ________ and contrast, we ascertain how and why certain ______ and agencies have __________ warrantably assertable conclusions while others have not.” Dewey ________ to describe the _______ of inquiry by defining it. “Inquiry is the ________ or directed transformation of an _________ situation into one that is so determinate in its constituent _______ and relations as to convert the __________ of the original situation into a unified whole” Some _____ philosophers object to this. Bertrand Russell, the famous _______ century British philosopher ________ about Dewey’s definition of inquiry. “It would apply to the _________ of a drill sergeant in _________ a collection of raw recruits into a regiment or a bricklayer transforming a heap of bricks into a _______. And yet it would be impossible” to say that the drill sergeant is _________ into the recruits or the brick layer into the bricks.” In short, Russell _____ _____ Dewey mistakenly makes action rather than ____ the object of his logic and his philosophy. “___________, if Dewey is right, cannot be any part of the _____ of life. It is merely a means to ____ ________.” This view, to those who have been much _______in the pursuit of knowledge is distasteful.” Dewey ________ truth is inseparable from _______ and our knowledge is ________ from efforts to know. This _______ mean that the bricklayer is inquiring into the bricks. Dewey says the bricklayer inquires into how he might intelligently ________ a pile of bricks into a house. _______ the bricklayer the drill sergeant and _____ _______ who solve immediate problems, the philosopher doesn’t aim ________ to improve __________ situations. He inquires into the ________ shared by all inquiries. He seeks what Dewey calls ___ __________ of inquiry. This pattern begins with an ________ indeterminate ________. Dewey calls this the antecedent _________ of inquiry. An __________ situation is questionable, disturbed, confused, ________, obscure. _______ is needed. But it’s unclear how the organism should respond to its environment.
