The Psychology of Revolution (1913) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120040015)

The Psychology of Revolution is a book written by Gustave Le Bon in 1913, exploring the psychological aspects of revolution. Le Bon argues that revolutions are not solely driven by rational or political factors, but also by the collective psychology of the masses. He examines the role of emotions, such as fear, anger, and hope, in shaping revolutionary movements, and explores how group dynamics and the influence of charismatic leaders can mobilize people towards revolution. Le Bon also considers the psychological effects of revolutionary change, including the emergence of new social norms and values, and the potential for violent or authoritarian outcomes. The book draws on historical examples, such as the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, to illustrate Le Bon's theories. Overall, The Psychology of Revolution offers a unique perspective on the complex and multifaceted nature of revolutionary movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
