-Abstract:
"John Dewey once wrote: 'Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.' However, despite his obvious affection for communication, Dewey never tells us how it functions in the varied contexts of practical life in which one must employ the art of communication to influence the beliefs and behaviors of others.

This dissertation addresses this problem by approaching Dewey's thinking on communication from a distinctly rhetorical perspective. Thus, the goal of this dissertation is to explicate Dewey's theory of communication in the terms of a rhetorical theory. But insofar as his thought went through three distinct "periods" in his lifetime, beginning with his Idealistic period in 1880, moving into his Experimental period in 1903, and culminating in his Naturalistic period in 1925, Dewey can be said to have had three implicit rhetorical theories. To articulate and explain each of these theories, I trace Dewey's theoretical development through time and construct, through published works, private correspondence, and biographical material. I show that the first theory envisioned rhetoric as a form of eros that helps us grow towards Absolute self-consciousness. The second theory views rhetoric as a form of critical inquiry whose goal is the development of phronesis , or practical wisdom. The third theory treats rhetoric as a productive techne , or a naturalistic form of art that has the power to transform experience, nature, and society through its transactional character.

By tracing Dewey's theoretical development and explicating three implicit theories of rhetoric in his writings, this dissertation not only provides a unique perspective on Dewey's changing views on language, ontology, and social practice, but also demonstrates how each theory can still be effectively used to interpret and guide the art of rhetoric. This kind of work enables us to grasp different facets of this diverse and vibrant art. At the same time, it shows how Dewey's work remains an important resource for those who wish to promote and sustain a democratic way of life by educating citizens in the art of full and moving communication."

-Price to order: $32.00
-Abstract:
"In this dissertation I argue for using John Dewey's scholarship in ethics, progressive education, and public discourse as a framework for teaching rhetoric for civic engagement. By 'civic engagement' I mean working to discover, address, or confront issues of public importance through discourse. In the first part I establish Dewey as a point of reference for progressive revisions of curriculum in rhetoric at the undergraduate level. Using data gathered from a sample of undergraduate institutions, I argue for an increase in courses that reflect classical interests in performance of argument and critical analysis of text as essential skills for civic engagement. In the second part I describe what such revisions may look like as we consider teaching argument as a back and forth process, deliberation as a key component of rhetorical literacy, and critical analysis of literature as an aid to civic imagination. This dissertation contributes to the continuing interest in the way rhetorical education can help students develop transferable skills, attitudes, and interests that will make them effective and ethical agents in their professional and civic lives."

---Abstract: "The purpose of this article is to introduce the use of online reflective journal assignments as a means to develop collaborative, constructivist learning environments in undergraduate social work education. Reflective journals have been used in many academic disciplines as a means to promote critical thinking, to provide feedback to instructors & students, & to integrate theory & practice. The use of technology & constructivist learning theory allows the potential for reflective journal assignments to become part of the development of a student-centered learning community. This article provides an overview of critical thinking concerns, the use of reflective journals, & constructivist learning theory, as well as an example of the specific journal assignment used in an undergraduate child welfare course." This is obviously a sort of case study, but it's writing-oriented and makes a reference to Dewey so it might be worthwhile to look at. ILL'ed 10/5/07.

---Abstract excerpt: "...Finally, a Deweyan approach to how psychology & other social sciences can cope with, & make positive use of, the reflexive problem, is outlined. By acknowledging their existence in the world they study, i.e. by becoming moral sciences that realize their moral & political implications, the social sciences can become problem-solving instruments that serve to help create a democratic public, a community as an actual social idea." This article seems mostly psychology-oriented, but if it comments on other social sciences in detail, it may be useful. Cancel.

---Abstract: "A lack of awareness of the ways we inhabit, & not just merely use, technology has greatly limited our capacity to understand the ways in which reason & practice structure each other. In exploring the interplay of rationality & experience, I resist the representation of artefacts as mere tools or autonomous tyrants, arguing instead that technological, conceptual, & moral changes are webbed together in everyday practices. Influential explanations of practical reason such as Pierre Bourdieu's analysis of habitus are vital in developing such a relational understanding of technology. We shall see, however, that even such excellent accounts of mind's embodiment in social space seem unaware of the irony that the dominance of the ideal of transcendent reason is no longer maintained by the work of theorists. Rather, it is maintained by a specific condition of practice; namely, the new technological capacity to dissociate ends & means. The "foreground of ends" is organized by the freedoms of individual self-creation through consumption. Yet in the "background of means" that sustains this world of private choice, social structures become objective facts beyond rational negotiation. The reciprocity of self & world required for genuine inhabitation of ecological & social places is lost. Any recovery of this reciprocity thus demands that decisions about technology be recognized as nothing less than political & moral, ie, rational, deliberations about what kinds of humanity we want to build & inhabit."

---Abstract: "Dewey's Lab School approximated a utopian educational institution because it promoted doxastic freedom. Doxastic freedom obtains when social conditions of belief are noncoercive. Absent constraints imposed by others, doxastic freedom is a condition of belief formation. Since doxastic freedom is commonly viewed as inherent in individuals, an argument for a social conception of doxastic freedom is required to substantiate the importance of doxastic freedom to operation of the Dewey School. Successful argument for a social conception of doxastic freedom shows that it was the institutional structure of the Dewey School that made possible the pedagogy of inquiry practiced there."

His version of pragmatism, which he called "instrumentalism," defined technology so broadly that it included not only tangible tools and artifacts such as machines, but intangible ones such as mathematical and logical objects as well. He thought that the number two was no less a constructed artifact than a telephone. Dewey proposed instrumentalism as an antidote to the split between facts and values that has plagued human societies, and he argued that the experimental method should be applied wherever social problems are experienced."

---An oppositional piece: "This paper consists of four parts. The first is a brief sketch of the social philosophy of John Dewey that attempts to demonstrate its grounding in the assumption that democratic practice is best conceived as a process of cooperative inquiry. The second part offers a series of three basic criticisms of this view that maintain that we are not sufficiently interested or intelligent or selfless to live up to the requirements of cooperative inquiry. The third part offers what I think is a more powerful criticism from the point of view of C Wright Mills, who finds Dewey's approach itself to be inappropriate. The final section considers whether Mills' position is really that different from Dewey's." Ordered from Wheaton 10/5/07.

---Abstract: "This work is an analysis of the debate between John Dewey and Bertrand Russell which followed the publication of Dewey's 1938 book "Logic: The Theory of Inquiry". A number of Russell's criticisms are examined, along with Dewey's replies. Russell's renditions of Dewey's views are shown to be mistaken or misleading, and his negative evaluation of Dewey's philosophy of logic is shown to be ill founded. An effort is made to present Dewey's views in a more positive light, with an eye on their relevance to recent developments in logic, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind."

---Abstract: "This paper appraises Dewey's general accounting of experience and knowledge as it bears upon an approach to literary experience and inquiry. A potential inadequacy in Dewey's general account is precluded through an assessment of the perceptual and conceptual poles of the knowledge situation offered by pepper. Pepper's analysis of purposive activity in knowledge situations lends cognitive underpinnings to Dewey's accounting of experience and knowledge. Pepper also helps clarify the nature and types of evidence at work in the knowledge situation. Two types of evidence, "uncriticized" and "criticized," are noted and developed. A provisional characterization of literary experience and inquiry based upon this assessment of the knowledge situation and the types of evidence is offered. Finally, two modes of attention are deployed in connection with pepper's two types of evidence. The modes of attention are termed "instrumental" and "aesthetic," and both are then related to the characterization of literary experience and inquiry."

---"Abstract: This paper presents an analytical framework for a reading of the Thought News project as an attempt to democratize the means of mass communication. The project was a creative endeavour of a former journalist Ford, and the American pragmatists, Dewey, Park, and Mead to set up an accessible newspaper about complex social processes. Because of its emphasis on the conditions of information diffusion as integrative and on the possible social bearing of theoretical knowledge, the project represents a typical nineteenth century reflection on mass communication. In this sense, it is comparable to the contemporaneous theories of Tarde and Schaffle, who similarly sought to improve the performance of the press. Arguably, central concerns of the project have not been obliterated by the new communication technologies, but persist instructively for our present uses of them."

---"Abstract: Dewey's conception of inquiry is often criticized for misdescribing the complexities of life that outstrip the reach of intelligence. This article argues that we can ascertain his subtle account of inquiry if we read it as a transformation of Aristotle's categories of knowledge: episteme, phronesis, and techne. For Dewey, inquiry is the process by which practical as well as theoretical knowledge emerges. He thus extends the contingency Aristotle attributes to ethical and political life to all domains of action. Knowledge claims become experimental, the result of which makes them revisable in the context of experience."

This ineffability requirement has the disastrous consequences that Dewey's beloved collective inquiry is impossible and that there are no objective criteria for the success of inquiry. It is found that Dewey's ineffability requirement results from his misbegotten attempt to aestheticize inquiry so that it is an act of artistic creation. It is suggested that things would go better if he dropped the ineffability requirement." I'm not entirely convinced of this argument's integrity, but I didn't want to rule it out. Does uniqueness really render something ineffable? Hmm..

Following John Dewey's psychology of moral judgment, I argue that successful moral deliberation does not supplant moral heuristics but uses them flexibly as inputs to deliberation.

This essay looks at the range of activities that fall within the first trend, noting, in particular, the growing popularity of inquiry activities that engage students in engineering-type tasks. The potential for public disengagement from science and technology issues is described as a result of the continued juxtaposition of these sorts of inquiry activities with our current, idealized portrayals of the nature of science-the emphasis of the second trend. Drawing on Dewey's instrumental theory of knowledge, an alternative way of thinking about science is offered that would not only provide for a more authentic understanding of science, but also invite much needed public participation in the broad governance of science in modern-day democratic societies.."

The community of inquiry is an ideal position from which public administrators can effectively examine how they approach problems, consider data, and communicate. Participatory democracy is a vital component of the community of inquiry developed by John Dewey and Jane Addams. The recognition of participatory democracy's place in public administration is underdeveloped.

---"Abstract: Psychology was once a methodologically diverse field. Yet psychology, including educational psychology, has been showing signs of a return to that methodological diversity by exploring ways to adapt 'qualitative' research methods to psychological research. This has raised concerns about the disciplinary integrity of psychology and whether such methodological explorations are possible while psychology remains distinctly 'psychological.' I suggest what is needed is a qualitative research methodology that psychology can call its own. The conceptual framework for such a methodology exists in John Dewey's philosophical writings. His work points the way to a qualitative experimentalism in the social sciences that takes individual lived experience as the beginning and ending point of its inquiries. Some of the specific features of a qualitative experimentalism are identified, and its unique appropriateness for psychological inquiry is highlighted. We may ask what is the effect on psychology of considering its material as something so distinct as to be capable of treatment without involving larger issues (Dewey, 1899, p. 159)."

Willinsky argues that publishing systems that provide greater public access to educational research are likely to help us to better understand and extend Dewey's democratic theory of education while promoting a more deliberative democratic state. Through this appeal, researchers can expand education's role within democracy by increasing the impact educational research has on practice and by providing an alternative perspective to the media's coverage of educational issues. The author challenges researchers to Participate in this democratic experiment by thinking of their work as a way to expand global opportunities for edification and deliberation within the public sphere of this information economy."

-Rodgers, Carol. "Defining Reflection: Another Look at John Dewey and Reflective Thinking." Teachers College Record 104.4: 842-866. June 2002.
---"Abstract: Thinking, particularly reflective thinking or inquiry, is essential to both teachers’ and students’ learning. In the past 10 to 15 years numerous commissions, boards, and foundations as well as states and local school districts have identified reflection/inquiry as a standard toward which all teachers and students must strive. However, although the cry for accomplishment in systematic, reflective thinking is clear, it is more difficult to distinguish what systematic, reflective thinking is. There are four problems associated with this lack of definition that make achievement of such a standard difficult. First, it is unclear how systematic reflection is different from other types of thought. Second, it is difficult to assess a skill that is vaguely defined. Third, without a clear picture of what reflection looks like, it has lost its ability to be seen and therefore has begun to lose its value. And finally, without a clear definition, it is difficult to research the effects of reflective teacher education and professional development on teachers’ practice and students’ learning. It is the purpose of this article to restore some clarity to the concept of reflection and what it means to think, by going back to the roots of reflection in the work of John Dewey. I look at four distinct criteria that characterize Dewey’s view and offer the criteria as a starting place for talking about reflection, so that it might be taught, learned, assessed, discussed, and researched, and thereby evolve in definition and practice, rather than disappear."

Clearing away some misconceptions about this theory allows us to grasp its practical and political focus, and to see its similarities to other strands of anti-positivist social thought, including hermeneutics and critical theory. I go on to examine the relationship between democratic values and the theory of inquiry. Like recent proponents of discursive conceptions of democracy such as Habermas he sees a connection between democracy and the conditions for rational procedures of problem solving. What connects democracy to inquiry for Dewey is primarily ethical and political, rather than epistemological. The article considers what may be usefully taken from Dewey's conception of social inquiry, without accepting his full ethical agenda."

---"Abstract: John Dewey's social psychology arose within the intellectual context of the nature-nurture controversy and the transition from laissez-faire to etatise liberalism. These ideas were themselves enveloped within the progression from competitive to corporate capitalism. Dewey's Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology (1922/1957), argued that choice and deliberation-agency--characterized human nature rather than behaviorism and determinism. Dewey's ideas also furnished a social-psychological justification for social reform through education as a way to imbue individuals with intelligent habits and, in the process, to reconstruct society. Neopragmatists Richard Rorty, Cornel West, and Charlene Haddock Seigfried charge that race, class, and gender, subsumed under the broader category of structural analysis, were ignored by Dewey and other pragmatists. Thus a final section connects this new line of inquiry to Dewey, highlighting differences and similarities."

---"Abstract: This article argues that it would be not only possible, but also prudent, for the field of public management to reclaim the philosophy of John Dewey as a guiding ethos for its practice. In Dewey’s view, the democratic community is responsible for ensuring that each person’s capacity for participation and self-government is fully developed. In such a community, citizens would engage in inquiry to choose appropriate action in particular situations. The public manager would participate in this process by contributing his or her expert knowledge but would not make policy decisions. Today’s decentralized and reinvented government presents an opportunity for the practice to reconnect to citizens in processes such as those advocated by Dewey."

-Bohman, James. "Theories, practices, and pluralism - A pragmatic interpretation of critical social science." Philosophy of the Social Sciences 29.4: 459-480, DEC 1999.
---"Abstract: A hallmark of recent critical social science has been the commitment to methodological and theoretical pluralism. Habermas and others have argued that diverse theoretical and empirical approaches are needed to support informed social criticism. However, an unresolved tension remains in the epistemology of critical social science: the tension between the epistemic advantages of a single comprehensive theoretical framework and those of methodological and theoretical pluralism. By shifting the grounds of the debate in a way suggested by Dewey's pragmatism, the author argues that a thoroughgoing pluralism strengthens, rather than weakens, both the social scientific and political aims of critical social science. Not only does pragmatism offer a plausible interpretation of the epistemic pluralism of the social sciences, but it also provides a way of thinking about their fundamentally practical and political character With a better normative vocabulary with which to discuss the epistemological issues of such a pluralistic mode of inquiry, the democratic role of critical inquiry and its specifically "practical" form of verification can be clarified.

This taxonomy is compared to previous taxonomies of educational technologies, and is found to cover a wider range of uses, including many of the cutting-edge uses of educational technologies. We have tested the utility of this taxonomy by using it to classify a set of "advanced applications" of educational technologies supported by the National Science Foundation, and we use the taxonomy to point to new potential uses of technologies to support learning."

-Ivie, Robert L. "Academic Freedom and Antiwar Dissent in a Democratic Idiom." College Literature - 33.4, Fall 2006, pp. 76-92.
---This title isn't so self-explanatory, so here's the abstract:


"Academic freedom, as conceptualized by John Dewey, entailed not only the principle of unfettered intellectual inquiry but also the equally important, but often overlooked, expectation of artful communication. Both the principle and the expectation were grounded in the argument that academic freedom is legitimized as an investment in democracy. The development of a great democratic community depends not only on unfettered social inquiry but also the full and moving public communication of intellectual insights and innovations. Consistent with Dewey's vision, and drawing on Michel de Certeau, this paper examines academic freedom as a form of political dissent and mode of resisting governing orthodoxies, that is, as a tactic or set of tactics for speaking in the democratic idiom. It draws on the examples of David Horowitz and Ward Churchill to caution against tactics of reverse recrimination that render dissenting speech strategically vulnerable to ruling frames of interpretation."

-Pfister, Damien. Review of Reconstructing Public Reason by Eric MacGilvray. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2004; pp xii + 247.
---Here are a few excerpts from the review:
"Eric MacGilvray, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, poses this question with a twist: "How can we combat the narrowing of our moral horizons that threatens to become a defining feature of modern societies and at the same time honor the diversity of moral commitments that we find in those societies?" (13–14). His thoughtful book, Reconstructing Public Reason, proposes a pragmatic modification of liberalism that hypothesizes making narrative accounts of proposed actions transparent, public, and prospective in order to test competing claims. By doing so, MacGilvray suggests that the "experimental intelligence" of citizens can be activated to secure legitimacy for collective decisionmaking.
While written for an audience of political theorists, Reconstructing Public Reason will appeal to scholars interested in deliberative democracy, pragmatism, and narrative reasoning."

"Each citizen has unique insights to contribute to public discourse, and the task of a pragmatic political theory is to integrate all these perspectives into a syncretic whole. Such a political orientation is [End Page 153] particularly relevant given the rapid advances in new communication technologies that empower citizen deliberation. Blogs, wikis, and podcasts—to name just a few technologies of the emergent democratic order—amplify public debate in civil society on a scale and frequency never before possible. The mass media, traditionally charged with channeling public needs and individual concerns, are gradually being displaced by these "niche-knowledge" providers which serve as new intermediaries for deliberation."

"Acknowledging one's own fallibility, while remaining open to others' claims, requires deft rhetorical maneuvering that MacGilvray leaves unexplored."

It seems to me that the above-mentioned "rhetorical maneuvering" is what could possibly contribute most to your tentative argument, but perhaps this book will help spawn some ideas? Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to the review: http://0-muse.jhu.edu.helin.uri.edu/journals/rhetoric_and_public_affairs/v010/10.1pfister.html
