Example text
Growth is the establishment of continuity . . There is, in short, a dynamic rhythmic and growing nature to all interaction; experience exemplifies this in a heightened degree. (Alexander 1987, 127) In short, our typical experiences – of feeling, habit, imagination – do not simply arise, deus ex machina, in dumb and lifeless creatures. 20 In Dewey’s post-Darwinian and ecological account, ‘nature’ can no longer be simply thought of as strictly ‘external’ to experiencing subjects. Nature is an affair of affairs, the dynamic and changing arena of organismic change and adaptation.
Classical empiricist epistemology, then, insisted that knowledge originates only in sense experience; the mind starts out as a receptive, blank slate on which the physical world inscribes its replica, in the form of ideas. The association of ideas generates knowledge; with luck, mind becomes the mirror of nature. Rationalism, for its part, refused to concede that sense experience could ever produce knowledge. Consider the character of sense experience: individual, fluid, and relative to a variety of externally produced circumstances.
Without language,’ Dewey writes, ‘the qualities of organic action that are feelings are pains, pleasures, odors, colors, noises, tones, only potentially and proleptically. With language they are discriminated and identified. 15 Mind is not a spark of divinity, as ancients thought, nor an illusory ghost in the machine of material bodies. Rather, mind is at least the ability to adapt and adjust to problems using language, and even more, the ability to create, plan, and project one’s vision of the future.
