Philosophical Analysis of the Implications of John Dewey’s Instrumentalism on Entrepreneurial Development

摘要

This work sought to examine the philosophical arguments of John Dewey’s theory of knowledge for practical gains.Hence,it sought to address the problem on how the current rave of entrepreneurship can be given a new direction,especially from the perspective of ideas or theories matching with practice as inspired by Dewey’s instrumentalism.The method of conceptual and critical analysis,hermeneutics and inductive/deductive arguments are employed to achieve that aim.The major findings of the work are that entrepreneurial development must be engaged from an interdisciplinary matrix.Thus,this work is geared to translate John Dewey’s philosophy to business sustainability,management and gains.
