Crítica da razão solitária: a psicologia social de George Herbert Mead

Abstract

This is a theoretical study about social psycology trem the north american psycologist and philosopher George Herbert Mead (1863- 1931). The indentations established about the thematic - the pressuposed and the conceptual system of social psychology - and about the author's formulation treatment, demonstrate the monografic meaning of this work. Because perhaps it could have considered a theoretical basis work, which means a return to the classical theories with the purpose of to contribute for the present development of psicological science. Two moviments are favoured in this work. The first replace the discussion about pragmatism. The second is concentrated in the basics concepts of reading of the social meadian psycology. The main consequences of this can be summarized like this: 1ª) the critic of pragmatism require much more than has been further said about this slope of the scientifical philosophical thought; 2ª) the social psycology of Mead engender a basic psycological model analisis of social relations and of the individuation process; 3ª) such model is compatible with the social-historical conception of psycology, elaborated by the marxism theory of society; 4ª) the openned structuration of the refered model allows it expand to areas of knowledgement with not easy access to the psycology which can be included the theories of moral and political economy, of the language and of the education science. From this point there is algo the permanence of a tensioned interlocution, with double meanning of atraction and repulsion relatives to certain pressupposed and consequences of refered model
