Dewey's interests and writings included many topics, and according to the [[Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy]], "a substantial part of his published output consisted of commentary on current domestic and international politics, and public statements on behalf of many causes. (He is probably the only philosopher in this encyclopedia to have published both on the [[Treaty of Versailles]] and on the value of displaying art in post offices.)"<ref>{{Cite web |title="Dewey's Political Philosophy" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |url=http://www.seop.leeds.ac.uk/archives/sum2005/entries/dewey-political/  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514094942/http://www.seop.leeds.ac.uk/archives/sum2005/entries/dewey-political/ |archive-date=2011-05-14 |access-date=2008-08-27}}</ref>

In 1917, Dewey met [[F. Matthias Alexander|F.M. Alexander]] in New York City and later wrote introductions to Alexander's ''Man's Supreme Inheritance'' (1918), ''Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual'' (1923) and ''The Use of the Self'' (1932). Alexander's influence is referenced in "Human Nature and Conduct" and "Experience and Nature."<ref>F.M. Alexander ''Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual'', E.P.
