[NOVEMBER 1, 1930] | R. N. R. B.
The passage discusses two books: "Asia: An Economic and Regional Geography" by Dr. L. Dudley Stamp and "Experience and Nature" by John Dewey. 1. **Asia: An Economic and Regional Geography**: - The book provides a comprehensive survey of Asia's geography, economic relations, and historical changes. - It emphasizes the use of maps as a primary tool for understanding the subject, making it accessible and engaging. - Dr. Stamp's extensive travel experiences in various regions of Asia add vivid descriptions and a realistic perspective. - The book is well-referenced and includes a detailed index, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers. 2. **Experience and Nature**: - Prof. Dewey aims to bridge the gap between intellectual and moral heritage and the material presented by science, industry, and politics. - He proposes "empirical naturalism" as a method to distill meaningful insights from experience. - Dewey's philosophy emphasizes the continuity between nature and experience, linking life, language, and social structures. - While his approach is refreshing, it may not fully satisfy deeper philosophical inquiries into the nature of reality and values. - The book is praised for its practical and inspiring message but is noted to leave some critical philosophical questions unaddressed.The passage discusses two books: "Asia: An Economic and Regional Geography" by Dr. L.
