George Herbert Mead

Man lives in a world of meaning. ”

To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation. ”

The beauty of a face is not a separate quality but a relation or proportion of qualities to each other. ”

What gives it its human character is that the individual through language addresses himself in the role of the others in the group and thus becomes aware of them in his own conduct. ”

To be interested in the public good we must be disinterested, that is, not interested in goods in which our personal selves are wrapped up. ”
