| Summary |
"Social Process" by Charles Horton Cooley is a scholarly work on sociology written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate dynamics of human interactions and social structures, emphasizing the organic growth and interconnectedness of individual and collective experiences. Cooley analyzes how personal and impersonal forms of life evolve, adapt, and influence one another, ultimately shaping society as a whole. At the start of "Social Process," Cooley introduces the concept of adaptive growth in human life, where individual development is seen as a continuous interaction with others and their conditions. He highlights the interplay between personal and impersonal forms, such as myths and language, demonstrating that even collective ideas and social institutions have a significant impact on individual identity. Cooley emphasizes the importance of the tentative process of social growth, where varied individual experiences contribute to the broader social fabric. Through examples, he illustrates how personal aspirations, social roles, and institutional changes work together to shape the ongoing evolution of society.
