Dewey fails to vouchsafe the need for the term God whilst James makes no case for God, admitting he need Him-personally and for social cohesion. I read him out the pragmatic community for his fideism.His acccount of religious experience is still sound,but in the end all such experience is ones own mental states at work; to aver nevertheless, supernatural influence begs the question thereof. Dewey pleads for the use of reason, for rational methods and for truth.
