Status Updates From Human Nature and Conduct

Holy snoozefest

Dewey's pragmatism and conceptualization of "the good" borrow from Utilitarianism, emphasizing the evaluation of actions based on their consequences. Instead of maximal pleasure/minimal pain, Dewey views ends/values as mobile. He views them as emerging and developed through group inquiry/discussion.

So he is a relativist, albeit, not a pure one. He doesn't view morality as arbitrary, but he rejects moral absolutes.

Dewey is about to discuss “the uniqueness of good.”

It will be interesting how he goes about it through his pragmatism.
