Description: George Herbert Mead is widely considered among the most influential philosophers in American pragmatism. Created from verbatim notes of his widely attended lectures at the University of Chicago, "Mind, Self, And Society" captures both the intellect and the personality of one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century and remains a seminal text in both social psychology and philosophy. This new, definitive edition includes an insightful foreword from leading Mead scholar Hans Joas, as well as a revealing set of textual notes by Dan Huebner that detail the origins of the text. The added materials will shed new light and spur new scholarship on this masterwork.
