About this ebook

This foundational text of social psychology presents the most complete summation of Mead's theory of symbolic interactionism.
George Herbert Mead is widely recognized as one of the most brilliantly original American pragmatists. Although he had a profound influence on the development of social philosophy, he published no books in his lifetime. This makes the lectures collected in Mind, Self, and Society all the more remarkable, as they offer a rare synthesis of his ideas.
This collection gets to the heart of Mead's meditations on social psychology and social philosophy. With wry humor and shrewd reasoning, Mad teases out the genesis of the self and the nature of the mind. Included in this edition are an insightful foreword from leading Mead scholar Hans Joas, a revealing set of textual notes by Dan Huebner that detail the text's origins, and a comprehensive bibliography of Mead's other published writings.
