George Herbert Mead on Social Psychology by George Herbert Mead

George Herbert Mead on Social Psychology by George Herbert Mead

One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead's posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology. "Required reading for the social scientist."—Milton L. Barron, Nation

George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) was a philosopher, sociologist, and psychologist best known for his work at the University of Chicago, where he was one of several notable pragmatists. He is widely considered as a creator of social psychology and the American sociological tradition in general.
