In Human Nature and Conduct, John Dewey, a pioneering American philosopher and educational theorist, explores the intersection of social psychology and the physical sciences. This episode presents Part 3 of his influential 1922 work, where Dewey defines HABIT and Impulse as essential concepts in understanding how individuals interact with their environment, forming the foundation for moral and ethical judgments. He eloquently states, “All habits are demands for certain kinds of activity; and they constitute the self,” while also asserting that “Habits are Will.” In this segment, Dewey delves into the process of making ethical decisions, the moments that invoke our intelligence, and the intricate relationships between aims, goals, means, ends, and emotions. Join us for an enlightening journey through Deweys profound insights. ~ Summary by William Allan Jones, Soloist
