This is a outstanding theory of the process of thinking. Dewey's explanation separates the idea of thoughts from the process of thinking. Thinking, not something we turn on or off, is constantly refining itself. What we believe is a structure of gaps between information we have secured and the next thought we wish to secure. And we decide how secure each becomes. Each gap is a leap of faith from one perceived secure footing to the next. The journey never ends. ( )
