M ead, G eorge H erbert
George Herbert Mead (1863–1931) was an American philosopher, social psychologist, and social theorist. Mead played a significant role in the development of American pragmatism, although his influence has been greater in sociology and social theory than in philosophy. John Dewey was responsible for Mead's appointment at the University of Chicago, where he spent most of his career. Mead is a central figure in the school of symbolic interactionism i…
George Herbert Mead and the Unity of the Self
After more than seventy-five years of scholarship on Mead’s notion of the self, commentators still debate the meaning of the term. There are those who argue that it should be understood primarily as a socially constructed “me,” while others claim that the self is a combination of the spontaneous “I” and the “me.” In addition, there are those who emphasize facets of the self that do not fit neatly into either of these two camps. Support for variou…

Through the Eyes of Mad Men
Traditionally pragmatists have been favorably disposed to improving our understanding of agency and ethics through the use of empirical research. In the last two decades simulation theory has been championed in certain cognitive science circles as a way of explaining how we attribute mental states and predict human behavior. Drawing on research in psychology and neuroscience, Alvin I. Goldman and Robert M. Gordon have not only used simulation the…
W. E. B. Du Bois
The Hegelian background to W. E. B. Du Bois's discussion can be located in the development of self-consciousness for Hegel. The process of becoming self-conscious entails a split within the individual; there is a distance between the consciousness that is aware and that of which it is aware. This consciousness experiences itself as alienated from itself and the world. In the master and slave dialectic, we discover that the “splitting” of self-con…
The Cosmopolitan Self
Articles on Universality and Individuality, Reflective Solidarity
Was George Herbert Mead a Feminist
George Herbert Mead was a dedicated progressive and internationalist who strove to realize his political convictions through participation in numerous civic organizations in Chicago. These convictions informed and were informed by his approach to philosophy. This article addresses the bonds between Mead's philosophy, social psychology, and his support of women's rights through an analysis of a letter he wrote to his daughter-in-law regarding her …
Philosophy, Social Theory, and the Thought of George Herbert Mead
The Ideal of Democracy
A Mead Divided Against Himself
The Mediating Self
The author considers the development of the sense of self by critically analyzing the philosophies of George Herbert Mead - who argues that self-consciousness results from social interaction through language and symbol - and Sartre, who maintains that consciousness is free to create the self
Mead, Sartre
Sartre seeks both to overcome solipsism and clarify how the individual becomes an object—with a seemingly fixed char acter—through his account of The Look in Being and Nothingness. While his description of how The Look of the other transforms one into an object may at first appear to be confirmed by experience, the account proves to be inade quate as a refutation of solipsism and in showing exactly how one becomes an object. On the other hand, G.…
