The Psychology of Revolution

Exploring the psychological forces behind societal revolutions, Gustave Le Bon delves into the collective psychology that fuels transformative movements. He examines historical case studies, particularly the French Revolution, to uncover the traits of revolutionary leaders and the dynamics of crowd behavior. As a pioneer in social psychology, Le Bon's interdisciplinary approach provides a framework for understanding societal change, making this work essential for students and scholars in psychology, sociology, history, and political science.
