Blumer elaborated and developed this line of thought in a series of articles, many of which were brought together in the book Symbolic Interactionism.

Blumer was also a vociferous critic of positivistic methodological ideas in sociology. ...more

Quotes by Herbert Blumer (?)

“The fact that the human act is self-directed or built up means in no sense that the actor necessarily exercises excellence in its construction. Indeed, he may do a very poor job in constructing his act.”
