Book Overview
The only collection of Mead's writings published during his lifetime, these essays have heretofore been virtually inaccessible. Reck has collected twenty-five essays representing the full range and depth of Mead's thought. This penetrating volume will be of interest to those in philosophy, sociology, and social psychology. "The editor's well-organized introduction supplies an excellent outline of this system in its development. In view of the scattered sources from which these writings are gathered, it is a great service that this volume renders not only to students of Mead, but to historians."--H. W. Schneider, Journal of the History of Philosophy

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I found the introductory remarks by Professor Reck more intriguing than the body of the book. His comments are somewhat motivating for scholarly work. In describing the process of editing the material, he sets a certain tone that is appealing. In the writings of Mead one finds seeds of liberalism being sown. Mead takes simple concepts and makes them sound overly complex. In this particular collection of his work, there is more filler than substance in many cases. The bibliography, however is useful in that it provides a means of tracing sources.
