John Dewey, a prominent philosopher and educational theorist, explores the role of intelligence in shaping human conduct in this book. He delves into the fundamental concepts of "habit" and "impulse" as crucial elements in the interaction between individuals and their environment. Dewey argues that habits are more than just ingrained behaviors; they are fundamental to one's identity and represent the very essence of the self. He further contends that these habits, or ingrained patterns of action, are inherently connected to the concept of will. Dewey emphasizes the significance of "dramatic rehearsal" in the development of ethical judgments, where individuals mentally engage in various scenarios to assess the potential consequences of their actions. He elucidates the interplay between aims, goals, means, and ends in the process of decision-making, highlighting how emotions often influence our choices. Throughout the book, Dewey meticulously examines the role of intelligence in navigating moral dilemmas and forming ethical judgments.
