Georgius Herbertus Mead

Georgius Herbertus Mead (1863 - 1931) fuit philosophus, sociologus, psychologus Americanus, plerumque in Universitate Chicaginiensi versatus, ubi fuit unus ex multis pragmatistis insignibus. Nunc in conditoribus interactionismi symbolici et scholae sociologicae Chicaginiensis habetur.

De vita

Georgius Herbertus Mead South Hadley in urbe Massachusettae die 27 Februarii anno 1863 natus est. Pater eius Hiram Mead ex pastore erat ecclesiae congregationalisticae, qui anno 1869 professor homileticae nominatus est in seminario theologico collegii Oberlin. Qua de causa familia Georgii in Ohium commigravit. Patre mortuo anno 1881 Elisabeth Storrs Billings mater aliquamdiu in Oberin praecepit. Georgius autem, cum in collegio Oberlin studia exercebat, opiniones theologicas, quibus puer imbutus esset, in quaestionem vocavit. Studia in Oberlin absolvit anno 1883.

Anno 1887 Mead in tabulas nomen rettulit Universitatis Harvardianae, ubi praesertim philosophiae et psychologiae studebat. Josiam Royce et Gulielmum James audivit. Proximo quidem anno baccalaureatum adeptus Lipsiam demigravit, ubi Gulielmo Wundt usus est professore. Anno 1889 Berolinum migravit, ubi Gulielmum Dilthey, Hermannum Ebbinghaus, Gustavum Schmoller, Fridericum Paulsen per biennium audivit, sed dissertationem in medio reliquit.

In Civitates Foederatas reversus Mead anno 1891 Helenam Castle, amici sui sororem, uxorem duxit.^[1] Eodem anno praecipiendi munus accepit in universitate Michiganensi constitutum. Nam sine dissertatione vocatus est, ut psychologiam physiologicam et historiam philosophiae doceret. Etiam de ratione organismorum et circa locorum praecepit. Ibi in familiaritatem inque omnem vitam amicitiam Iohannis Dewey venit. Anno 1894 Dewey in universitatem Chicaginiensem transmigravit, eumque Mead secutus ibidem in facultate philosophiae et psychologiae munus 'lectoris' (assistant professor) accepit.

Mead Chicagi reliquum vitae egit. Anno 1902 'lector principalis' (associate professor) nominatus est, deinde ab anno 1907 ad excessum vitae professor ordinarius (full professor). Per hos annos Mead ad psychologiam socialem et philosophiam quam maxime contulit. Maximo ad psychologiam socialem adiumento fuit, quod, quem ad modum in interactione sociali — praesertim in conloquendo (vel in interactione symbolica) — exsistat homo ipsissimus (the human self), docere destinavit. In philosophia autem Mead in maximis pragmatistis Americanis fuit.

Universitas Chicaginiensis tamquam pulpitum publicum praebebat, in quo Mead ineunte saeculo XX principia theoriae significationis excogitare et palam facere potuit, in quibus postea suam theoriam socialem posuit. Etiam ad id eum pertinebat, quomodo saluti civium prodesse posset: praesertim in senectute doctrinam significationis et theoriam ad ortum egoitatis pertinentem in magnam synthesin socialem redigere voluit, quod quidem consilium necessitate in medio relinquere coactus est.

Georgius Herbertus Mead e vita excesit Chicagi die 26 Aprilis anno 1931.

De placitis praeceptisque

G. H. Mead a psychologia sociali profectus quaestiones interactionis socialis multis ex partibus tractavit. Multum denique ad problemata philosophica scientiarum socialium contulit. Dum vixit, multa centena commentationum scripsit, sed ne unum quidem librum umquam ipse divulgavit. Tribus annis post Meadium mortuum Carolus W. Morris, auditor eius, librum magnum Mind, Self and Society ex commentationibus acroasibusque conlectum protulit.
