Biography
Scientific activity
Cooley’s sociological theory is based on social organism and recognition of the fundamental role of consciousness in shaping social processes. Calling himself a monist , Cooley considered society , social groups and the individual as a single living organism. But Cooley's organism is far from biological analogies; his holism is based on the mental nature of the social organism - “super-I”, “big consciousness”.
The initial premise of his theory was the assertion about the social nature of man, which without exaggeration we can call the image of man as a cultural being. According to Cooley, the social nature of a person “is developed in a person by means of simple forms of intimate interaction or primary groups, especially family and neighborly groups, which exist everywhere and always affect an individual equally.” It represents a certain complex of social feelings, attitudes, moral standards common to all mankind, constituting the universal spiritual environment of human activity.
The social nature of man corresponds to a special social cognition, "which is able to combine visible behavior with the imagination of the corresponding internal processes of consciousness." Max Weber would call such knowledge “understanding”, assuming the existence of a subjective sense of activity, and the sociology that Cooley built on this basis - understanding sociology.
