Summary/Abstract: Although Mead's concept of self has been used by many researchers, the writings about Mead have been quite lacking from a philosophical point of view. The fact that Mead’s works have not been translated into Turkish seems to have been quite effective of the information of this ambiguous situation. The inadequate of deeper analysis of Mead’s works, the philosophers who guide his mind led to the impenetrability of the effects of Mead. With this thought, of course, due to the philosophers by whom Mead affected, the thought of Mead about religion has shifted Mead’s mind in terms of social organism. The purpose of our research is to figure out the relationship between religion and the self by researching the philosophers who affected him. Our study is quite important because of emphasizing the effects of Mead's latest thoughts on the concept of the self. In order to understand Mead's latest ideas, we will need to conduct a mutual analysis of Mead's account of the self in his work "mind, self and society.
