"Human Nature and the Social Order" by Charles Horton Cooley is a seminal work in sociology, published by Schocken Books in New York in 1964. This edition is the First Schocken Paperback Edition, marking it as a significant reprint of Cooley's influential analysis of social psychology and the interplay between individual identity and societal structures. Cooley, noted for his contributions to the field of sociology, particularly the concept of the "looking-glass self," explores the dynamics of human interaction and social order. This edition is distinct for its introduction by Philip Rieff and a foreword by George Herbert Mead, adding valuable perspectives on Cooley's impact. The book is in paperback format and is scarce in this specific edition, making it a valuable addition for collectors of sociological literature. The condition is generally good, with some signs of wear typical for its age.
