The following "reserved" from Suchman was reverse. I am sorry.
Wrong one in the previous mail,
>He(Mead) "reserved" the traditional assumptions underlying philosophical, and
>sociological thought to the effect that human beings possess minds and
>consciousness as original "givens," that they live in worlds of preexisting
>and self-constituted objects, and that group life consists of the
>association of such reacting human organisms. (ibid., p. 61)
Correct one is as follows;
He(Mead) "reversed" the traditional assumptions underlying philosophical,
pyschological,and sociological thought to the effect that human beings possess
minds and consciousness as original "givens," that they live in worlds of
preexisting and self-constituted objects, and that group life consists of the
association of such reacting human organisms. (ibid., p. 61)
This came from Blumer, 1969.
