The Mob Mentality - The Crowd & The Psychology of Revolution

Gustave Le Bon

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Mob Mentality," Gustave Le Bon delves into the psychological phenomena that govern crowd behavior, weaving an intricate tapestry of social theory and psychological insight. Through a meticulous examination of historical events and sociological patterns, Le Bon articulates the ways in which individuals lose their sense of personal responsibility within a collective. His work employs a clear, yet provocative prose style, akin to the emerging schools of psychological thought during the late 19th century, offering readers a perspective on how emotions and collective identity can eclipse rational thought in a crowd setting. Gustave Le Bon, a pioneering social psychologist and sociologist, wrote this seminal text amidst a backdrop of social unrest and political upheaval in Europe. His extensive background in medicine and anthropology influenced his interest in the dynamics of crowds, leading him to investigate the collective behaviors that arise in times of crisis or change. Le Bon'Äôs insights are precursors to many modern theories of mass psychology, revealing how group dynamics can shape societal movements. Readers seeking to understand the complexities of human behavior within group contexts will find "The Mob Mentality" invaluable. Le Bon's exploration not only enhances our comprehension of historical events but also resonates in contemporary society, where mob dynamics can still influence public opinion and action. This work is essential for anyone interested in psychology, sociology, or the interplay between individual agency and collective power.

The Essential François Mauriac -...

François Mauriac

Three great nonfiction works from the Nobel Prize–winning, Catholic, French author of Thérèse Desqueyroux.Saint Margaret of CortonaFor François Mauriac, Saint Margaret of Cortona became a source of fascination and solace during the Nazi occupation of France. During that time, feeling himself and all his countrymen to be among the downtrodden, he wrote this biography of the thirteenth-century Italian penitent who would become the patron saint of the homeless . . .Born in 1247 to a farming family in a small village outside Perugia, Margaret of Cortona was willful and reckless in her youth. At age seventeen, she became a wealthy man’s mistress—even bearing his son out of wedlock. But her life of sin ended when she found her lover murdered.Devoting herself to prayer and penance, Margaret eventually joined the Third Order of St. Francis and took a vow of poverty. She established a hospital for the poor and homeless at Cortona. On divine command, she challenged her own bishop for his lavish and warlike lifestyle. Canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1728, she became a patron saint of the downtrodden, including the falsely accused, homeless, orphaned, and mentally ill, as well as midwives, penitents, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, and third children.Letters on Art and LiteratureIn this collection of letters, Mauriacshares fascinating insights through correspondence with Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, and other authors, artists, intellectuals, as well as the readers of his various articles and columns. The letters delve into a variety of topics—from the death of Georges Bernanos to the correspondence between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide, and the Routier youth movement.Proust’s Way The thinking and suffering of the author of Remembrance of Things Past are intimately exposed in these letters to Mauriac.

Escape from Freedom

Erich Fromm

Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author.  The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm’s debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism. By the author of The Sane Society and The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, this is a fascinating examination of the anxiety that underlies our darkest impulses, an enlightening volume perfect for readers of Eric Hoffer or Hannah Arendt.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
