Filipe Carreira da Silva addresses the basic questions 'How should
we read Mead?' and 'Why should we read Mead today' by showing that
the history of ideas and theory-building are closely-related
endeavors. Following a contextualist approach in exploring the
meaning of Mead's writings, Carreira da Silva reads the entire
corpus of Mead's published and unpublished writings in light of the
context in which they were originally produced, from concrete
events like the American involvement in World War I to more general
debates like that of the nature of modernity. Mead and Modernity
attests to the relevance of Mead's ideas by assessing the relative
merits of his responses to three fundamental modern problematics:
science, selfhood, and democratic politics. The outcome is an
innovative intellectual portrait of Mead as a seminal thinker whose
contributions extend beyond his well-known social theory of the
self and include important insights into the philosophy of science
and radical democratic theory.
