Selected Writings
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
