Mead believes that one’s identity is formed both by genetic and environmental influences, including their environment both at birth and throughout their development. He emphasizes the fact that all systems change continuously; new organisms require time to develop their niche before inhabiting it fully.
Mead’s fame as a sociology thinker has eclipsed that of his philosophy writings; nonetheless, these have formed the basis for what has come to be known as Meadism or Symbolic Interactionism – an approach to pragmatic thought that Mead pioneered.
Mead is often counted among the luminaries of classical American pragmatism, alongside Peirce, James and Dewey. His ideas have contributed to modern cognitive accounts of sensorimotor enactivism and embodiment. Additionally, his legacy remains important among those studying evolutionary processes or contact experience.
