Abstract
This paper starts from the argument that the work and thought of George H. Mead is fragmented and has a theoretical potential that has not been fully used; usually leaving his work limited to the field of identity and the self. In this article I argue that recovering, unifying and placing at the center of his theory all of his other writings in which Mead dealt with a variety of social problems such as ethics, universality, democracy, war, science, social progress, reform, rights, history and education, his thought and ideas acquire a completely different and new meaning, in which the mind and the self have, owing to its social nature, an ethical and political dimension, with an intrinsic commitment with their community and social reality.
