Dewey published around 700 articles in 140 journals and about 40 books
One of the interesting facts about John Dewey is that Dewey published around 700 articles in 140 journals and about 40 books. "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology" (1896), a critique of a mainstream psychological concept that served as the foundation for all of his subsequent work; Democracy and Education (1916), his acclaimed work on progressive education; The Public and its Problems (1927), a defense of democracy written in response to Walter Lippmann's The Phantom Public (1925); Experience and Nature (1925), Dewey's most "metaphysical" statement; Impressions of Soviet Russia and the Revolutionary World (1929), a glowing travelogue from the nascent USSR.
Dewey's key work on aesthetics was Art as Experience (1934). A Common Faith (1934), a humanistic study of religion delivered as the Dwight H. Terry Lectureship at Yale; Logic: The Theory of Inquiry (1938), a statement of Dewey's unusual conception of logic; Freedom and Culture (1939), a political work examining the roots of fascism; and Knowing and the Known (1949), a book written with Arthur F. Bentley that systematically outlines the concept of trans-action, which is central to his other works. Hilda Neatby stated of Dewey's enormous influence on twentieth-century thought, "Dewey has been to our age what Aristotle was to the later Middle Ages, not a philosopher, but the philosopher." In 1968, the US Postal Service honored Dewey with a Prominent Americans series 30¢ postage stamp.
