This book introduces social scientists to the ideas of George
Herbert Mead (1863-1931) - one of the most original yet neglected
thinkers of early twentieth century sociology.
Mead is an exceptional case amongst sociological classics in
that, until now, there has been no comprehensive reader of his
work. As the first one-volume, comprehensive edited collection of
Mead 's published and unpublished writing, this book fills this
gap. It is the first to critically assess all of Mead's writings
and draw out the aspects that are central to his system of thought.
The book is divided into three parts (social psychology, science
and epistemology, and democratic politics), comprising a total of
30 chapters - a third of which are published here for the first
time.
G.H. Mead: A Reader provides a unique and timely contribution to
the understanding of this key theorist. It is essential reading for
both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of
sociology, social psychology, philosophy of social science, social
and cultural anthropology, and social and political theory.
