 note = {One of the philosophical contributions of John Dewey's naturalistic theory of experience is that it overcomes the epistemological problem of assuming an immutable subject. Instead of reducing experience into some sort of mental faculty, the theory discusses the general features of a situation. However, this sensitive maneuver does not undermine the importance of the subject. This essay focuses on an overlooked trait that concerns the subject, namely, the pathological. Dewey scholars who acknowledge the importance of the subject in experience - Alexander (1987) and Garrison (2003) among others - only mention it in passing as a negative behavior to overcome. This essay is an attempt to flesh out its positive function. I first illustrate Dewey's understanding of human behavior from his famous "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology" (1896), and situate his "The Theory of Emotion" (1894-1895) within it as it serves as a basis of locating the pathological behavior. From this discussion, I sketch out four conditions that cause the behavior, namely: 1) the lack of past experience, 2) the neglect of situations, 3) the unintended evocation of ideas, and 4) the dysfunction of biological functions. While the complexity of the conditions does not allow simple solutions, they all share the trait that the sense of tension indicates its recognition. The positive function is that every recognition constantly becomes a branching point between the perpetuation and transformation of the immobilizing conditions. Finally, I suggest that there is a possibility of reading Dewey's broader philosophical project as a continued attempt to detect such tensions.},
