Review
"By a wide margin the most lucid study of Mead's thought ever published, this book should go far toward convincing those who still doubt that Mead is to be counted among America's most important philosophers." -- Peter H. Hare, editor, Transactions of the C.S. Peirce Society "One of the most reliable and valuable contributions to a better understanding of a long-neglected thinker." Hans Joas, Freie Universitat Berlin

THE George Herbert Mead biography,
By
This review is from: George Herbert Mead: THE MAKING OF A SOCIAL PRAGMATIST (Paperback)
I would not have found this book but for the fact that the author (Gary Cook) is my advisor, professor, and friend here at Beloit College. He introduced me to the works of Mead, as well as the other great American pragmatists (C.S. Peirce, William James, etc). A better professor than writer, but for any who interested in the life of Mead, this book is a must.
