John Dewey: “Now every such logic is fatal to free experimental social inquiry.”

Nor can the liberating and confirming results of public action be construed to yield a wholesale idealization of states in contrast with other associations.

In no two ages or places is there the same public.

That the state should be to some a deity and to others a devil is another evidence of the defects of the premises from which discussion sets out.

Freedom presented itself as an end in itself, though it signified in fact liberation from oppression and tradition.
