Abstract

The social psychology of George Herbert Mead shows that society is the source of mind and self-emerging from the biological matrix, and mind and self are indispensable for the complex types of social organizations seen by human beings. It is precisely because of advanced language ability and developed mental mechanism that individual humans can adopt others’ attitude toward themselves through role-playing, and then enter their own experience as an object to promote themselves to become their own object, so as to allow the emergence of reflective consciousness and reflective intelligence. Through this theoretical basis, we can find a more appropriate method, which is expected to develop a more systematic and complete science about mind, self and society.
