1864 - 1929
Charles Horton Cooley was an American sociologist born on August 17, 1864, and he passed away on May 8, 1929. He is best known for his development of the concept of the "looking glass self," which describes how individuals form their self-identity through social interactions and the perceptions of others. Cooley's work significantly contributed to the field of sociology, particularly in understanding social psychology and group dynamics.
