Sommario/riassunto

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.

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
