Human Nature and the Social Order
by Charles Horton Cooley (1983), Transaction Books, New Brunswick
paperback, 444 pages 
|
Human Nature and the Social Order originally
appeared in 1902 and had a foreword by George Herbert Mead. While promoted as a
"treatise on American culture," the text is one of the first to discuss human
values as separate, understandable entities. While always maintaining a sociologist's perspective, Cooley's work opens a pathway followed by others that points at values as being intrinsic to the individual rather than as a product of society. |
