Abstract
Part of the SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture, this book is a combination of biography and philosophy. Wang delineates Dewey’s two-year teaching in China (May 1, 1919 – July 11, 1921), how Dewey was interpreted there, and what influence he has had. In addition, Wang discusses what Dewey learned from his stay in China and how his experience there influenced his philosophy.
Highlights

Wang states that in the existing literature Dewey’s own intention to learn from other cultures has been ignored and his mature thoughts after his encounter with these cultures are never considered. Her account of Dewey’s stay in China has filled a large gap in the common understanding of the Deweyan story (p. 121). She offers her interpretations as an attempt to understand what happened to Dewey in China (p. 9)
In chapter one Wang provides a brief introduction of the relationship between China and the West and the background of Dewey’s visit
