Mind, self, and society: the definitive edition - 50702

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.

Its penetrating, conversational tone transports the reader directly into Mead's classroom as he teases out the genesis of the self and the nature of the mind.
