Assesses John Dewey's visit to China in 1919-21 as an intra-cultural episode and promotes Chinese natural philosophy as a philosophical context in which to understand the connections between Dewey's philosophy and early Confucian thinking.

In this conclusion to his two-volume series, Jim Behuniak builds upon the groundbreaking work begun in John Dewey and Daoist Thought in arguing that Chinese natural philosophy is the proper hermeneutical context in which to understand early Confucianism. First, he traces Dewey's late-period cultural turn in more detail and then proceeds to assess Dewey's visit to China in 1919-21 as a multifaceted intra-cultural episode: one that includes not only what Dewey taught his Chinese audiences, but also what he learned in China and what we stand to learn from this encounter today.
