Character's thought

Dewey's works show the fact that he is a scholar devoted to writing. When he was studying in university of vermont, he showed that he was a good student who devoted himself to it. But he is not good at words and sharp in writing, and he is not a person who expresses his views with thoughts. His works are not easily understood at once.

In Dewey's philosophy, he does not agree that the concept is a fixed static statement; The concept itself is not absolute. Dewey regards the concept as an easy, dynamic and instrumental guiding function, which makes us more adaptable to the external environment.
