| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is a reconsideration of John Dewey’s stay in China, an experience abroad that influenced enormously in his intellectual and human development. Our approach will be comparative, assessing his model of cultural dialogue through a contrast between his attitudes and actions in China and Bertrand Russell’s ones. We think that, thanks to this thorough comparative research, we make much clearer their respective conceptions of the role that intellectuals could play in international political sceneries. One hundred year after they arrived to and thought about China, we think that this often-unknown chapter of the history of intellectuals can be particularly relevant for ensuing surveys of cultural studies and sociology of knowledge. |
