About This Ebook

In this book, Gustave Le Bon delves into the crowd psychology phenomena observed during the French Revolution and other historical events. He argues that during revolutions, when individuals merge into groups, they develop a unique form of collective unconscious which drives their actions, leading them to behave in ways they normally would not. Le Bon also discusses the role of leaders, the importance of symbols and rituals, and the influence of public opinion on the revolutionary process. These theories are not only applicable to the historical context but also offer profound insights into group behavior in modern society.
