      The Psychology of Revolution
    • 2022

      Angst und Verfolgung von Minderheiten sowie der Einfluss kollektivistischer Ideologien werden umfassend analysiert, wobei historische Ereignisse von 1911 als Grundlage dienen. Le Bon hinterfragt die Entstehung von Gesetzen in Staaten und die Problematik der kulturellen Überlagerung, insbesondere während der Kolonialzeit. Er thematisiert den Widerstand gegen tyrannische Regierungen und deren Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft. Ein zentraler Gedanke ist, dass das Verschwinden großer Völker eher auf einen moralischen als auf einen intellektuellen Verfall zurückzuführen ist, was auch für die heutige Zeit relevant bleibt.

      Gustave Le Bon's exploration of social psychology reveals how individuals in crowds become susceptible to manipulation, often losing their personal beliefs and morals. He argues that the masses prefer comforting illusions over harsh truths, allowing those who can create these illusions to dominate. First published in 1896, this influential work has shaped the strategies of various political leaders throughout the 20th century, highlighting the psychological dynamics of group behavior and the vulnerability of the individual within the collective.
