Looking Glass Self
About this book
Introduced and edited by Daniel Sharp, Looking Glass Self is a new special version of Cooley's pioneer work of social theory which was originally published as Human Nature and the Social Order. The new introduction of Looking Glass Self accessibly presents Cooley's distinctive model of socialisation as an extention of Descartes' ultimate scepticism commonly expressed as 'I think therefore I am'.More than one hundred years ago, Cooley conceived a total philosophy on the world which is just as applicable to solving the most extreme challenges of human nature in 2016 as it was in 1903. Students of psychology, sociology, politics, criminology and philosophy may observe Cooley's distinct and diverse contribution to several thesis which have been contributed to by scientific endeavour in recent decades.
