Book Description
Excerpt from The Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of the First Church, Burlington, Vt: February Twenty-Third to Twenty-Sixth, 1905 This book holds such memories of the First Church Centenary as are capable of being recorded in printer's ink. Here is an out line of the three days' programme, the historical address and other historical matter pertinent to the time, and other addresses and memorabilia. Here is also a group of pictures of significance, the whole constituting a summary of the life of the Church for its first century, of real and enduring value. The pity of it all is that the things which most swayed the men and women who took part in the fine services of that memorial time are not here recorded and will not submit themselves to any such record. Those who read this book in other years will be fortunate if at best some stirring of the spirit follows the turning of its pages as one evokes some subtle, ghost of fragrance from the petals of long sundered flowers.

Book Description
Over a career spanning American history from the 1880s to the 1950s, John Dewey sought not only to forge a persuasive argument for his conviction that "democracy is freedom" but also to realize his democratic ideals through political activism. Widely considered modern America's most important philosopher, Dewey made his views known both through his writings and through such controversial episodes as his leadership of educational reform at the turn of the century; his support of American intervention in World War I and his leading role in the Outlawry of War movement after the war; and his participation in both radical and anti-communist politics in the 1930s and 40s. Robert B. Westbrook reconstructs the evolution of Dewey's thought and practice in this masterful intellectual biography, combining readings of his major works with an engaging account of key chapters in his activism. Westbrook pays particular attention to the impact upon Dewey of conversations and debates with contemporaries from William James and Reinhold Niebuhr to Jane Addams and Leon Trotsky. Countering prevailing interpretations of Dewey's contribution to the ideology of American liberalism, he discovers a more unorthodox Dewey—a deviant within the liberal community who was steadily radicalized by his profound faith in participatory democracy. Anyone concerned with the nature of democracy and the future of liberalism in America—including educators, moral and social philosophers, social scientists, political theorists, and intellectual and cultural historians—will find John Dewey and American Democracy indispensable reading.
