 Since the posthumous publication of Mind, Self, and Society, commentaries on Mead have often relied heavily on works that he did not publish, with particular emphasis on those lecture notes and manuscripts addressing the genesis and development of the mind and self. However, a systematic analysis of Mead’s philosophy requires an assessment of the whole of his work, including work published in his lifetime (Cook 1993, xiii-xiv). A relatively recent methodological trend in Mead scholarship consists of reframing Mead’s legacy from a philosopher who seldom published to one whose written canon adds up to over 120 items and counting (Carreira da Silva 2008, 6; 2011, ix-x; Cook 2013, 95; Côté 2015; Reck in SW, xiii-lxii; Taylor 2019; Throop and Ward 2007). By utilizing writings in which Mead’s authorship is uncontested, these commentators seek to present Mead in a voice closer to his own. This trend in research on the “the published Mead” has led to inventive investigations into Mead’s theories of experience, perception, action, emergence, society, the mind, and social cognition. Future efforts employing this method have the potential to highlight Mead’s contributions to the philosophies of history, education, politics, and the social sciences.
