John Dewey (1859–1952) – Educator, author, and proponent of the philosophical school of pragmatism. A prominent political commentator, he was a standard-bearer of liberalism in the first half of the twentieth century.
Widely respected for his personal integrity, Dewey served as chairman of the 1937 Commission of Inquiry into the Charges Made against Leon Trotsky in the Moscow Trials. In a major blow to Stalin’s frame-up, the Dewey Commission investigated and rejected the frame-up charges. Dewey's writings include:

The Case of Leon Trotsky (1937, contributor)
Not Guilty: Findings of the 1937 Commission Chaired by John Dewey Investigating the Charges against Leon Trotsky in the Moscow Trials (1938, contributor)
