Product Information

With such a psychological transformation, an individual no longer lives for himself, but instead becomes a pawn who sacrifices his own personal ends and goals in favour of those of the crowd: He then released Psychologie des Temps Nouveaux (1920) before resigning from his position as Professor of Psychology and Allied Sciences at the University of Paris and retiring to his home. to admire, it must be kept at a distance. CHAPTER IV LIMITATIONS OF THE VARIABILITY OF THE BELIEFS AND OPINIONS OF CROWDS In joining a crowd or a mass movement, the individual is temporarily relieved of this responsibility and sense of impotence, and comes to feel that he is capable of shaking the foundations of the earth:

Le Bon put forth the following explanation: “…our savage, destructive instincts are the inheritance left dormant in all of us from the primitive ages. In the life of the isolated individual it would be dangerous for him to gratify these instincts, while his absorption in an irresponsible crowd, in which in consequence he is assured of impunity, gives him entire liberty to follow them.”

CHAPTER III THE LEADERS OF CROWDS AND THEIR MEANS OF PERSUASION As current as the problem is, so narrow-minded appear some of the author's remarks, which allows his subjective opinion to flow slowly into various passages, which is an unforgivable mistake for serious non-fiction.

Goodreads (забравила съм кой, така че това ще му спести срама) се оплака, че "Психология на тълпите" била доста повърхностна книга - в смъсъл казвала само базови неща и нищо по-сложно.

И я завърших 2 години по-късно*. И всъщност май не съжалявам за това, защото при втория опит за прочитане бях по-добре хуманитарно подготвена.Swiderski, Richard M. (2012).
