Individualism in an industrial age

John Dewey examines how technological development and industrial society reshape the place of the individual in American life. The book takes up concerns that assembly-line work, political bureaucracy, and cultural uniformity could constrain personal creativity, then presents Dewey’s pragmatic argument that modern conditions can also provide new ground for individual growth and redefinition. Its central tension is between the forces that standardize social life and the possibility of developing individual capacities within it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in pragmatist philosophy and social thought.
  • Those exploring the relationship between technology, industrial society, and individuality.

Book overview

America's most renowned social philosopher John Dewey shines his powerful intellect on the serious public and cultural issues surrounding the place of the individual in a technologically advanced society. In this penetrating study, he addresses the fear that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialized culture of uniformity. Armed with his pragmatic approach and his belief in the power of critical intelligence, Dewey argues that individualism has in fact been offered a uniquely higher plane of technological development upon which to grow, mature, and redefine itself.
