"In this compelling work of philosophy, John Dewey explores the development of personal character and how one interacts with society. Relying on human physiology and psychology as evidence, he investigates how we make moral choices, cope with our surroundings, and act resourcefully. He explains that these social functions spring from natural, moral foundations, as he describes his views on social psychology."
