| Popis: | In their ideological analysis of his method of inquiry, revisionist historians have charged that John Dewey's work served as an apology for a class based industrial order. In short the claim is that Dewey's method failed to achieve critical independence from the political/economic order it sought to interpret. The strength of this claim against Dewey can only be determined by specific, piecemeal, and careful consideration of the logical features of his work. This article identifies ambiguities in Dewey's use of the concept 'communication' and shows how these prevented him from developing a clearer analysis of the relationship of profound conflicts of interest to the operation of methods of inquiry.
