This volume is a study of previously unexplored theoretical convergences between John Dewey's social pragmatism and the sociology of knowledge.

It demonstrates how these convergences, combined with the social psychology of G. H. Mead and Kenneth Burke, create a framework for the construction of a new and more comprehensive approach to the social analysis of knowledge, the social theory of thought. Dunn indicates in what respects Dewey's philosophy and this theory represent forms of social critique that reorient sociology in a critical direction. He offers an original interpretation of Dewey's pragmatism and the significance of his work for social theory, sociology, and the sociological analysis of knowledge. The work introduces readers to a new approach to social critique that highlights Dewey's emphasis on the connection between theory and practice and the close relationships among inquiry, agency, and democracy.

With carefully organized chapters and accessible language relatively free of jargon, this book will be of value to scholars and students in social theory, sociology, social psychology, and philosophy who are interested in pragmatism and the contributions of Dewey, Mead, and Burke to the social sciences.

Robert G. Dunn was Emeritus Professor of Sociology at California State University, where he taught for 32 years. He specialized in theory, cultural sociology, social inequality, and the sociology of identity. Most of his research was in the areas of mass culture, critical theory, and postmodernity. Robert G. Dunn passed away in March 2026, shortly before the publication of this book.
