Book excerpt: Instructors of political theory will rejoice at this brief and original interpretation of the philosophical influences on John Dewey's political thought. Examining Dewey's evolving conception of liberalism, David Fott illuminates his subject's belief in democracy more fully than it has ever been explained before. By comparing and contrasting Dewey's thought with that of Socrates, Fott convincingly casts doubt on claims that Dewey offers a defensible middle ground between moral absolutism and moral relativism.
