About This Vintage 1960 Edition

This edition of "The Quest for Certainty: A Study of the Relation of Knowledge and Action" by John Dewey, published by Capricorn Books and G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1960, is an eighth impression of a work originally published in 1929. Dewey, a prominent American philosopher and educator, explores the interplay between knowledge and action, drawing from his Gifford Lectures delivered in 1929. This paperback edition, printed in New York, offers readers a chance to engage with Dewey's influential thoughts on epistemology and the philosophy of action. The book is particularly valuable for those interested in the development of modern philosophical thought. While the original hardcover editions are sought after, this paperback remains a practical choice for students and scholars alike. The book is in a used condition, with visible wear consistent with age and handling, but retains its structural integrity.
