TY - JOUR ID - 800088 AU - Šíp, Radim PY - 2007 TI - John Dewey's Tentative Metaphysics: The Occidental Underground JF - AMERICANA - E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary VL - III. IS - 2 SP - 224-233 EP - 224-233 SN - 17874637 KW - Metaphysics KW - conception of the whole KW - pragmatism KW - aristotelism KW - Dewey's metaphysics UR - http://americanaejournal.hu/vol3no2/sip N2 - The paper is part of a big research of pragmatic conception of knowledge, constitution of the Self, of the society, and of democracy that is is carried out by The Central European Pragmatic Forum. The author attempts to show that every thought or theory is based on a conception of the whole, of a metaphysics. Even thoughts and theories that explicitly deny this holistic background. This, on the other hand, does not mean that the metaphysics have to have permanent structure as it has been common in works of great metaphysician of our Occidental tradition. By comparing the two types of metaphysics - the rigourous one and the tentative one - explaining this by way of examples of Aristotle's and Dewey's metaphysics, the author shows how could be use the (post)modern Dewey's approach to cognition and why this approach is more valuable these days than the traditional one.
