Dewey, a pioneering American philosopher, emphasizes that our habits shape our identities and ethical decisions. He argues that morality is a dynamic process influenced by our social environment and emotional responses. In the final section, Dewey delves into key concepts such as the nature of freedom, the essence of humane morals, and the importance of social conscience. He introduces the idea of Dramatic Rehearsal, highlighting how our feelings play a crucial role in decision-making, transforming ethical consideration from a mere calculation of outcomes to an emotional journey. Join us as we unravel the profound insights of Deweys philosophy, tying together the threads of human nature and social psychology. ~ Summary by William Allan Jones, Soloist]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6898697/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Social Sciences</category><copyright>Copyright Early Modern</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/dfd4520a88f6917f9ce0a8fd3a8492cf.jpg</url><title>Human Nature and Conduct - Part 4, Conclusion</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/human-nature-and-conduct-part-4-conclusion--6898697</link></image><lastBuildDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 09:28:13 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>John Dewey</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Early Modern</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker31@podcastlibrary.org</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/dfd4520a88f6917f9ce0a8fd3a8492cf.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>In this compelling conclusion to John Deweys influential work, Human Nature and Conduct, we explore the intricate relationship between habit, impulse, and moral judgment.
