Description: Self, War, and Society by Mary Jo Deegan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) is a founding figure in the field of sociology Publisher Description George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) is a founding figure in the field of sociology. His stature is comparable to that of his contemporaries Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Meads contribution was a profound and unique American theory that analyzed society and the individual as social objects. As Mead saw it, both society and the individual emerged from cooperative, democratic processes linking the self, the other, and the community. Mary Jo Deegan, a leading scholar of Meads work, traces the evolution of his thought , its continuity and change. She is particularly interested in the most controversial period of Meads work, in which he addressed topics of violence and the nation state.Meads theory of war, peace, and society emerged out of the historical events of his time, particularly World War I. During this period he went from being a pacifist, along with his contemporaries John Dewey and Jane Addams, to being a strong advocate for war. From 1917-1918 Mead became a leader in voicing the need for war based on his theory of self and society. After the war, he became disillusioned with President Woodrow Wilson, with Americans failure to support mechanisms for international arbitration, and with the political reasons for American participation in World War I. He returned to a more pacifist and co-operative model of behavior during the 1920s, when he became less political, more abstract, and more withdrawn from public debate.The book includes Deegans interpretation of Meads early social thought, his friendship and family networks, the historical context of America at war, and the importance of analysis of violence and the state from Meads perspective. She also provides illustrative selections from Meads work, much of which was previously unpublished. Author Biography Mary Jo Deegan is professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She is the author of Jane Addams and the Men of the Chicago School, winner of a Choice Outstanding Book Award, and Self, War, and Society and editor of Essays in Social Psychology and On Art, Labor, and Religion.
