Abstract

Abstract

In the early twentieth century, John Dewey, taking up the baton from Francis Bacon, defended modernity against the hegemony of the antique and tried to extend the legitimacy of "science" to the fields of morality and social affairs. He declared that the "Reconstruction in Philosophy" would not only make the holy moment of "science" come true, but also transform the holy moment into an essential order of the secular world. "Science," as the instrument for Dewey to reconstruct philosophy, should not only announce its power in philosophy, but also infuse itself into politics. The unfinished America or the ideal America in Dewey's thought is the carrier of this "scientific spirit."
