Da sociedade ao indivíduo e de volta à sociedade: socialização e individuação em G. H. Mead

Este ensaio tem por tema central os processos de socialização e de individuação em George Herbert Mead. Trata-se de um texto teórico e hermenêutico, com fins propedêuticos, ligado ao campo da filosofia da educação. O objetivo consiste em discutir como Mead, em seus escritos, compreende e descreve os processos de formação dos sujeitos sociais, e quais as possíveis correlações desses processos com a capacidade de viver em comunidade, sob a égide da ética e da democracia. No texto, argumenta-se que o processo de formação do self remete à socialização individuadora, e que a emergência da consciência do ‘si mesmo’ somente é possível por meio da interação e da participação efetiva na vida da comunidade. Por isso, é possível ponderar que a incapacidade de pensar e agir desde uma perspectiva social representa um déficit formativo, de reponsabilidade do próprio indivíduo e também da sociedade.

Szasz Under Friendly Fire: Damned With Faint Praise

This essay is a critical review of recent collections of articles by friends and colleagues of Thomas Szasz. Apart from the usual misunderstandings and wilful misinterpretations of Szasz's social psychology generally and critique of mental illness specifically, his friends and colleagues add a new dimension to Szaszian criticism by damning him with faint praise. Ignoring his indebtedness to social psychologist, George Herbert Mead, they interpret his work as an ideological defence of libertarianism, rather than as a logical critique of mental illness. A defence is, therefore, especially indicated.
