This book represents a bold call to reconnect philosophical thought with real life and break the isolation imposed upon it by outdated modes of thinking. Dewey begins with a frank critique of the tendency of classical philosophies to seek a fixed certainty to which humanity can retreat amidst the turmoil of the world, while the reality of our time-as he sees it-is governed by rapid changes that extend across geographical boundaries and permeate the very core of daily life. These transformations, in his view, cannot be confronted with a rigid heritage or academic analysis detached from the pulse of the present. The author, John Dewey, examines the historical, scientific, and social factors that have reshaped the fundamental concepts of philosophy, from the meaning of experience and reason to the relationship between the ideal and the real, including a re-examination of logic and ethics. He emphasizes that true renewal is not achieved by polishing technical means or engaging in pedantic critiques of the past, but rather by focusing efforts on the current problems that concern humanity today. The book highlights that a new philosophy must be characterized by flexibility and openness, and must engage with the issues of contemporary society-education, democracy, and social justice-instead of merely engaging in abstract contemplation. In this sense, "the renewal of philosophy" constitutes an intellectual statement for the establishment of a practical philosophy, which feeds on interaction with reality and seeks to create viable solutions, not to build intellectual havens far from the hustle and bustle of the world.
