George Herbert Mead: Taking the Role of the Other. ... According to Mead, there can be no self without a prior social group. The process, he argues, requires communication through gestures — or significant symbols — as well as the ability to take the role of the 'other.'

Mead's major contribution to the field of social psychology was his attempt to show how the human self arises in the process of social interaction, especially by way of linguistic communication ("symbolic interaction"). In philosophy, as already mentioned, Mead was one of the major American Pragmatists.
