Knowledge lives in conversation, with science as one valued strand

Evidence

Dewey is, in other words, proposing that conversation, not photography, is the ultimate context within which knowledge is to be understood. Science is one, but only one, strand of that conversation. Science is to be commended not because of the privilege of its representations but because of its method, if we understand method to refer not to technique but to certain valued habits: full disclosure, willingness to provide reasons, openness to experience, an arena for systematic criticism. — James W.
