Knowing and the Known

"Knowing and the Known" is a philosophical work by the American philosopher and educator John Dewey, published in 1938. In this book, Dewey explores the interplay between the processes of knowing and the objects of knowledge. He argues that knowledge is not a static entity or a simple correspondence between a subject and an object, but rather an active and dynamic process shaped by human experience, context, and interaction with the environment. Dewey emphasizes the importance of experience in the process of knowing.
