Description

"The Psychology of Revolution" is a book written by Gustave Le Bon. In this book, Le Bon explores the psychological and sociological factors that contribute to the occurrence of revolutions. He analyzes the motivations of individuals and groups who engage in revolutionary activities, as well as the emotions and beliefs that drive them. Le Bon argues that revolutions are not simply driven by political or economic factors, but rather by deeper psychological impulses that are rooted in the human psyche. He posits that revolutions are often driven by a collective belief in a shared cause, as well as a sense of identity and belonging to a group. Additionally, he suggests that revolutionary leaders often use manipulation and propaganda to sway the masses and mobilize them toward their cause. The book also discusses the role of crowds in revolutionary movements, and how they can be influenced and controlled by those in power. Le Bon suggests that crowds are inherently irrational and prone to violence and that they can be easily manipulated by skilled leaders who know how to appeal to their emotions and desires.

Author Biography:

Gustave Le Bon (May 7, 1841-Dec. 13, 1931) was born in France. He was a French social psychologist and is most famous for his study of the psychological characteristics of crowds. After being rewarded with a doctorate in medicine, Le Bon went to Europe, North Africa, and Asia and wrote many books on anthropology and archaeology. His interests turned toward natural science and social psychology. In Les Lois's psychologiques de l'évolution des peuples (1894), he improved a view that history is the product of culture or national character, with feelings, not intelligence. Le Bon accepted that modern life was progressively described by crowd assemblages. In La Psychologie des Foules (1895), (The Crowd), his most famous work, he argued that the mindful personality of the person in a crowd is immersed and that the collective crowd mind rules; crowd behavior is united, emotional, or psychologically weak.
