Abstract

"Man lives in the world of conjectures, riddles and possibilities" John Dewey John Dewey considers ethical research as a part of experimental research. His approach is instrumentalist. Value judgments (value judgments) are a tool to direct behavior satisfactorily in situations where habits are not sufficient to guide behavior. In this pragmatic approach, the guarantee of value judgments depends on the conditions and behavior of the human being, not depending on a previous reference such as pure reason or the Platonic example. What we have in mind in this article is the analysis of John Dewey's meta-ethical approach with the emphasis and centrality of communication and His influence is from Darwin's theory of evolution. We are going to have a new reading of the ideas of this outstanding and influential philosopher of the 19th century in America and the world. Our main goal is to clarify the key points that establish a link between John Dewey's methods and philosophical results, in order to research the important points in his moral philosophy that are influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution. The points of connection and connection of paths and methods with his philosophical results are the same roots that were the bedrock of John Dewey's thought and caused contextualism and attention to society and theorizing in the field of democracy and politics.
