Psychology of Crowds by Gustave Le Bon
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.454 MB
Overview: In this clear and vivid book, Gustave Le Bon throws light on the unconscious irrational workings of group thought and mass emotion as he places crowd ideology in opposition to free-thinking and independent minded individuals. He also shows how the behaviour of an individual changes when she/he is part of a crowd.
Le Bon was an eminent psychologist and sociologist. The ideas le Bon explores in this book are extremely relevant to today’s society and were of pivotal importance in the early years of group psychology: Sigmund Freud’s Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse (1921); (English translation Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, 1922) was based on Le Bon’s work.
Applications include financial market behaviour and political delusions.
The original of this work, La Psychologie des Foules, was first translated anonymously into English possibly by a group of French students. Sparkling Books has corrected errors and anomalies in the original translation by reference to the Alcan edition. We have shortened a few passages but maintained the original footnotes and have added some footnotes of our own.
