On Social Psychology

Více o knize

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 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.
