TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: G. H. Mead’s Philosophy of the Present

Thursday 27 February 2025 is the 162nd anniversary of the birth of George Herbert Mead (27 February 1863 – 26 April 1931), who was born in South Hadley, Massachusetts, on this date in 1863.


Mead’s contributions to philosophy and psychology come together in his treatment of time, which he forcefully expresses in an uncompromising presentism that is admirable in the consistency with which he works out the consequences of his theory of time and the self.
