Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Jacket Condition: New. University of Massachusetts Press, 2006. First Edition. 1st Printing. 328 pages. Crisp Firm Clean copy ! Size: 9.2 x 6.3 x 0.9. One of the founders of sociology in the United States, Charles Horton Cooley (1864-1929) is perhaps best known for his concepts of the looking-glass self and the primary group. But according to Glenn Jacobs, he also deserves to be remembered as the first scholar of his generation to develop a viable concept of the social. Characterizing Cooley as an 'exceptional exceptionalist,' Jacobs shows how his unique adaptation of Adam Smith's liberalism and his rejection of Herbert Spencer resulted in a notion of the social that set him apart from the burgeoning professional social science movements of his time.
