By John Dewey

Book Overview

The Place of Habit in Conduct is a philosophical work by John Dewey that explores the role of habits in shaping human behavior. Dewey argues that habits are not merely automatic responses, but rather they are integral to our character and personality. He suggests that habits are formed through repetition and experience, and they can be both beneficial and detrimental to our lives.Dewey also discusses the importance of understanding habits in order to change them. He argues that by consciously examining our habits, we can identify those that are harmful and work to replace them with more beneficial ones. Additionally, he explores the relationship between habits and social norms, suggesting that our habits are often shaped by the expectations of those around us.Overall, The Place of Habit in Conduct offers a thought-provoking analysis of the role of habits in human behavior, and provides insights into how we can consciously shape our habits to improve our lives.THIS 82 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Human Nature and Conduct An Introduction to Social Psychology, by John Dewey.
