George Herbert Mead on Identity - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 66 Identity/Mead/Habermas: the transition from symbolically mediated to normatively regulated interaction does not only enable a change to modally differentiated communication. It means not only the construction of a social world, but also the symbolic structuring of motives for action. From the perspective of socialization, this side of the socialization process presents itself as the formation of an identity. Mead: treats identity formation as a relationship between the "Me" and the "I". Me: the perspective from which the child, taking the expectations of the generalized other in the opposite, builds up a system of inner behavioral controls. Thus, on the path of internalizing social roles, a super-ego structure is formed. I/Mead: we react to this as I. (1) Habermas IV 67 I/Mead: Mead understands the "I" as the generalized ability to find creative solutions for situations where something like the self-realization of the person is at stake. (2) Habermas: according to this, the "I" is both the motor and governor of an individualization that can only be achieved through socialization. >I,Ego,Self, >Individuation, >Identity/Henrich, >Socialization. 1.
