Of course, Dewey proposed a universal method (sometimes calling it «the method of intelligence») and made cosmological assumptions that aggravate Richard Rorty (but that differ from Rorty's only in being more explicit than Rorty's own).8 But these are only ancillary to Dewey's central task, which was to use thought to promote adjustment between organisms and their history.

Because of the internal relatedness of organism and environment, the positive analogy between organisms of the two environments justifies an inference with respect to the analogical relationship of the two environments.

The secret lies in the symbiosis between the organism and the environment.
