Description

Symbolic Interactionism Perspective and Method is a collection of articles that outline the fundamental principles of symbolic interactionism in sociology. Written by Herbert Blumer, this work presents the most authoritative statement of the school's point of view.

The author identifies three key premises that underpin symbolic interactionism: that human action is based on the meanings things have for individuals; that these meanings are derived from social interactions with others; and that they are shaped through an interpretive process.
