Annotation

The article is devoted to the political thought of John Dewey, who had a significant influence on modern political and philosophical reflection. The author conceived the article as a political-philosophy reception (an ideological apology) of John Dewey’s ideas. The aim of the work is to analyze one of the most important trend in political thought at the beginning of the twentieth century. The author of the article believes that the formation of pragmatism was one of the sources of a large-scale process of irreversible transformation of philosophy, which turned it into a contemporary tool of political reflection. The tasks of the article is to solve several problems. First, the author reveals the main features of the methodological model of “reconstruction in philosophy,” which made a significant contribution to the revival and modification (on the basis of a democratic ideology) of one of the classical genres of political thought - political philosophy. Second, the author clarifies the approaches to solving the main problem of Dewey's concept: determining of sociopolitical problems using the functional method (instrumental pragmatism), and not at the expense of the expert selectivity of various political objects and institutions. Third, the author argues that the main content of the Dewey's method is in the practical-polemical side of his work, and is not extracted from theoretical works.

For solving the tasks of the article the author chooses the genre of a socio-political review of Dewey's “reconstruction in philosophy”.

The work consists of four parts and introduction. The first part of the article presents a brief summary of the “reconstruction” as a political-ideological (democratic) re-assembly of intellectual skills of philosophy. The first part of the work is intended to illustrate the plan of John Dewey to turn philosophy into a tool of thinking for a democratically organized public. In the second part of the article, the model of the so-called John Dewey’s Great Debates was synthesized. In the third part of the article, the author focuses on the disclosure of the meanings of the “agent-patient” category - the personage of the new instrumental doctrine of political thinking. In the fourth part of the article (instead of a conclusion), the author specifies the role of the new “reconstructed philosophy”. All parts are equipped with final conclusions.
