Book excerpt: In his discussion of the general psychological causes of revolution, LeBon draws detailed illustrations of fundamental points from the French Revolution, especially the period from 1789 to 1800. LeBon's treatment of psychological causes is not confined to crowd actions or to the immediate descriptions of violent episodes in revolutions. He draws upon contemporary French clinical psychology to describe the pathological characteristics of the revolutionary leadership in France and explains many of the events of the period as a consequence of their influence.

Book excerpt: "At no period of history did men so little grasp the present, so greatly ignore the past, and so poorly divine the future." According to Gustave Le Bon, The French Revolution lost its relevance as soon as the cry, "liberty, fraternity and equality," was reduced to equality: "Never did men speak so much to say so little; the empty verbiage and swollen emphasis swamp any truth there may be beneath their monotony and turgidity." Le Bon explores and exposes the central touchstones of instinct and reason as they relate to revolt, and how civilization invariably retrogresses to the primitive and barbaric when it launches revolution. In this discussion of the general psychological causes of revolution, he draws detailed illustrations of fundamental points from the French Revolution, especially the period from 1789 to 1800, and he gives a detailed history of the French Revolution, its personalities, its high and low points, and the circumstances that have made it important to peoples across the globe to this day. When Le Bon assures us that "By replacing individual initiative and responsibility by collective initia-tive and responsibility mankind would descend several steps on the scale of human values", we can safely conclude that he is not a big fan of socialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When renowned French sociologist GUSTAVE LE BON (1841-1931), who pioneered the field of mass psychology, took a fresh, scientific look at the subject of revolution-and in particular, the French Revolution-he stripped away legend and illusion to find the core reality. In this profound and insightful work, a replica of the 1913 edition, he explores the mob mentality of revolutionaries-religious, scientific, and political-examines the motives of their leaders, and discusses how new forms of democratic belief and practice arise from popular movements. Students of history and the human mind alike will find it a fascinating read. ALSO FROM COSIMO: Le Bon's The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition brings to you Le Bon's two most celebrated works, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind" and "The Psychology of Revolution", which made a breakthrough in what is now known as crowd psychology. Le Bon theorised about a new entity, "psychological crowd", which emerges from incorporating the assembled population not only forms a new body but also creates a collective "unconsciousness". As a group of people gather together and coalesces to form a crowd, there is a "magnetic influence given out by the crowd" that transmutes every individual's behaviour until it becomes governed by the "group mind". Gustave Le Bon was a French polymath whose areas of interest included anthropology, psychology, sociology, medicine, invention, and physics. Ignored or maligned by sections of the French academic and scientific establishment during his life due to his politically conservative and reactionary views, Le Bon was critical of democracy and socialism. Le Bon's works were influential to such disparate figures as Theodore Roosevelt and Benito Mussolini, Sigmund Freud and José Ortega y Gasset, Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin.

Book excerpt: This is the story of the French Revolution told from a psychological and group dynamic perspective whose aim is to shed light on the workings of the revolutionary mind and the emotions at work in society that pave the way towards revolution and war. The French Revolution was an important milestone in Western social and political development: it carried within itself the seeds of a humane society but turned into murder and execution. Group emotions such as fear, rage, euphoria and fervor influenced the course of events. This unique historical, psychological study of the French Revolution offers insight into how we view today’s social upheavals and conflicts—conflicts of opposing mythologies with their psychological overtones interpreted as political doctrines—as evinced currently in Russia’s territorial claims to Eastern Ukraine, Islamic fundamentalist wars, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. --Provided by publisher.
