John Dewey - Zwischen Pragmatismus und Konstruktivismus
Der Interaktionistische oder Kölner Konstruktivismus hat sich mittlerweile zu einem klar abgrenzbaren Ansatz innerhalb der breit gefächerten konstruktivistischen Theoriebildung entwickelt. Er zeichnet sich insbesondere durch seine starke kulturtheoretische Begründung aus, welche bewusst die Anschlussfähigkeit an nicht explizit konstruktivistische Ansätze der Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte zu wahren versucht. Aus der Reihe dieser Ansätze stellt der amerikanische Denker John Dewey, einer der zentralen Begründer des philosophischen Pragmatismus, eine der wichtigsten Quellen erkenntniskritischen Denkens dar. Umso unverständlicher muss es erscheinen, dass das umfangreiche Werk Deweys in der deutschen philosophischen Diskussion bis in die jüngste Vergangenheit hinein kaum Beachtung fand.
Die Beiträge dieses Bandes sind aus einer deutsch-amerikanischen Tagung, welche im Dezember 2001 an der Universität zu Köln stattfand, entstanden. Sie sollen die vielfältigen Bezüge zwischen Deweys Pragmatismus und Konstruktivismus aufzeigen. Die Beiträge diskutieren die Relevanz und Aktualität von Deweys Schriften im Blick auf ausgewählte Grundfragen beider Denkschulen und eröffnen dabei neue Perspektiven für eine breiter angelegte Wahrnehmung des Werkes John Deweys auch im deutschsprachigen Raum. Die Aufsätze bieten zudem eine Fülle von Anknüpfungspunkten für verschiedene Disziplinen wie Philosophie, Pädagogik, Soziologie oder Politische Theorie.

"The planetary reach of John Dewey’s thought comes alive in this trenchant discussion of his epistemology and philosophy of education. It is salutary, indeed, that the American and German Center for Dewey Studies provide us with this refreshingly cross-cultural inquiry."This book, the result of cooperation between the Center for Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the Dewey Center at the University of Cologne, provides an excellent example of the international character of pragmatist studies against the backdrop of constructivist concerns. As a part of their exploration of the many points of contact between classical pragmatism and contemporary constructivism, its contributors turn their attention to theories of interaction and transaction, communication and culture, learning and education, community and democracy, theory and practice, and inquiry and methods.

| Summary |
| Leading scholars challenge and reinvigorate the pragmatic method of John Dewey.
Focusing on issues of diversity, difference, and inclusion, leading scholars explore John Dewey’s pluralistic, deliberative, and communicative theory of democracy. They discuss the tensions between Dewey’s two criteria for a democratic society found in Democracy and Education; critique and recreate Deweyan democratic pluralism from a contemporary European perspective that acknowledges the importance of postmodern and poststructuralist thought; examine Dewey’s theory of inquiry in ways that illuminate his thinking about the deliberative functions of democracy; and probe the communicative aspects of democracy, emphasizing how emotions and interests both help and hinder communication. These essays challenge, revise, and reinvigorate Deweyan thinking, offering guidance for deeply democratic remedies to the fears, ontological wounds, and practical needs that characterize our problematic times.
“This is a major collection of distinguished scholars in the field.” — Thomas M. Alexander, coeditor of The Essential Dewey: Pragmatism, Education, Democracy
“There are many people who understand the big three of pragmatism—Peirce, James, Dewey—and appreciate the inspirational rhetoric of that tradition but who have trouble translating those philosophical giants into contemporary contexts. This volume does so admirably.” — Michael Sullivan, Emory University
