Document Summary
George h. mead, selections from mind, chapter 2, and the self, chapter 3 in mind, Self, and society (the university of chicago press, 1934), pp. Today we are going more inside the mind, how mead understands the mind, where does our sense of self come from, how do we see/understand/think about ourselves, which all comes from society for mead! The looking glass self by cooley (1864-1929 us) important source for mead. 3 steps in the looking glass self: the imagination of our appearance to other people, the imagination of their judgement to that appearance, some sort of self feeling we develop. The fact that you think i"m wonderful gives me a good self feeling even if it is not true! Not that we get into each other"s minds, it is just we are always making interpretations. Cooley set the basis used method called introspective and studied the minds and what went inside.
