Inquiry to Self #1 – George Herbert Mead: Mind, Self & Society

George Herbert Mead was a social psychologists, who's seen as one of the founders of an approach called symbolic interactionism. Mead didn't (unfortunately) publish any books during he's lifetime. However, he's ideas are represented in Mind, Self & Society, which is constructed through various sources, such as notes taken by his students attending he's lectures.    

Mind, Self & Society has established itself as a essential work of social science. In the work he sketches out his theory of the self, which Mead saw as a product of socialization. Even thought the work has faced its criticism, it is still a great intellectual achievement, which guarantees to wake up some hibernating  braincells.
