On Some Consequences of Charles W. Morris's Reinterpretation of the Philosophy of George Herbert Mead
...Morris's interpretation is a reinterpretation of what Mead actually thought, and this reinterpretation has invited a number of criticisms. First, Mead is said to be hostile to metaphysical inquiry... Second, it is often alleged that Mead's methodology is incapable of providing a firm basis for theory and research... Finally, it is said that Mead overemphasizes the power of individuals to create personal realities, and it downplays, ignores, or makes light of social structural and macro-sociological issues... The thesis of this paper is that the Morris reinterpretation is incorrect and these three criticisms are unjustified...
