The Pragmatism Cybrary: The Chicago School
This website is part of a larger project that explores the heritage of pragmatic philosophy, as well as its relationship to social theory. In particular, the section on the Chicago School places George Herbert Mead's work in its pragmatic context and provides links to social activists and philosophers who worked alongside and influenced Mead. This site also contains a section describing Mead's connection to William Thomas and Robert Park.
