"A bold, fresh, exhaustively researched reinterpretation of America's greatest democratic theorist." Jeffrey Stout, Princeton University

"An impressive achievement...essential for anyone interested in pragmatism and of value for anyone working on democratic theory." Colin Koopmam, University of Oregon

​"This will be the definitive edition of John Dewey's most enduring work on politics. Melvin Rogers has performed the admirable task of crafting a beautifully lucid introduction and an exhaustive annotation of the text. Students and scholars of Dewey will be in Rogers's debt for many years to come." Ian Shapiro, Yale University

"Scholars and teachers will welcome Melvin Rogers's new edition of John Dewey's The Public and Its Problems. The introduction and annotations are sophisticated, illuminating, elegant, and accessible. Masterfully situating Dewey in his historical context, Rogers persuasively shows that The Public and Its Problems remains a radically democratic book. This is the best edition available of Dewey's most important political philosophical work." Jack Turner, University of Washington
