ABSTRACT
George Herbert Mead’s acceptance of the power of hostility, discussed in his newspaper articles provides another set of writings with which to compare his ideas with Freud's. Because Dewey abruptly returned to his prewar arguments after the war, did little immediately to integrate his ideas during the war into his earlier approach, and Addams' postwar influence on him has been largely ignored, many scholars have focused on his wartime ideas in the context of his over-all theory. He also believed a just and democratic and fair-minded treaty would be established and the former enemies would be incorporated into an international, co-operative society. The major, world religions were a sign of the evolutionary progress and our increased understanding of morality became a new social obligation. Alan Cywar argued that Dewey did learn from his mistakes and became more radical in his politics in the 1940s, a claim that is easily substantiated.
