This work remains a pioneer sociological treatise on American culture. By understanding the individual not as the product of society but as its mirror image, Cooley concludes that the social order cannot be imposed from outside human nature but that it arises from the self. Cooley stimulated pedagogical inquiry into the dynamics of society with the publication of Human Nature and the Social Order in 1902. Human Nature and the Social Order is something more than an admirable ethical treatise. It is also a classic work on the process of social communication as the "very stuff" of which the self is made. This printing is adapted from the revised and updated 1922 edition, and is inclusive of the author's original notes and references appended at the close of each chapter. Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929) was an influential American sociologist at the University of Michigan known for developing the "looking-glass self" theory, which posits that individuals build their self-image based on how they believe others perceive them. He emphasized the "primary group" (family, friends) as crucial for socialization and believed society and the individual are inseparable.
