The Crowd
The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind is a classic and fascinating crowd psychology study authored by Gustave Le Bon and first published in 1895. In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: 'impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others...' Crowd psychology, also known as mob psychology, is a branch of social psychology. Social psychologists have developed several theories for explaining the ways in which the psychology of a crowd differs from and interacts with that of the individuals within it. Major theorists in crowd psychology include Gustave Le Bon, Gabriel Tarde, Sigmund Freud, and Steve Reicher. This field relates to the behaviors and thought processes of both the individual crowd members and the crowd as an entity. Crowd behavior is heavily influenced by the loss of responsibility of the individual and the impression of universality of

Crowd
First published in 1895, 'The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind' is a pivotal work in the field of group psychology written by French social psychologist Gustave Le Bon. Le Bon theorizes that there are several characteristics of crowds as distinguishable from individual behavior. As it states in the preface: 'The following work is devoted to an account of the characteristics of crowds. The whole of the common characteristics with which heredity endows the individuals of a race constitute the genius of the race. When, however, a certain number of these individuals are gathered together in a crowd for purposes of action, observation proves that, from the mere fact of their being assembled, there result certain new psychological characteristics.' Le Bon summarizes these key differences as impulsiveness, lack of reason, irritability, and the exaggeration of emotion and sentiment. In essence, Le Bon argues that a person in a crowd becomes hypnotized and taken over by the influence or

The Crowd
In this fascinating book, Gustave Le Bon examines the psychology of crowds. He posits that crowds have personalities, just like individuals, and that individuals change when part of a crowd. 'The most careful observations seem to prove that an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd in action soon finds himself-either in consequence of the magnetic influence given out by the crowd, or from some other cause of which we are ignorant-in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer. The activity of the brain being paralysed in the case of the hypnotized subject, the latter becomes the slave of all the unconscious activities of his spinal cord, which the hypnotizer directs at will. The conscious personality has entirely vanished; will and discernment are lost. All feelings and thoughts are bent in the direction determined by the hypnotizer.' This edition has been completely

Massernes psykologi
Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931) er grundlæggeren af den moderne massepsykologi. Hans revolutionære skrift Massernes psykologi er et socialpsykologisk, filosofisk, politisk og litterært mesterværk, som har haft enorm betydning op igennem det 20. århundred og radikalt har ændret hele måden at føre politik på. Foruden at være en nøgle til at orientere sig i vor egen tids massesamfund er Le Bons klassiker et historisk dokument og pligtlæsning for alle, der beskæftiger sig med fascismens, nazismens og kommunismens historie. Anvendt på nutidens forhold giver Le Bons analyser forklaringen på, hvorfor integrationen af indvandrere fra den tredje verden, skabelsen af en europæisk union og indførelsen af et vestligt demokrati i Mellemøsten alle må betragtes som abstrakt-ideologiske eksperimenter, der er dømt til at mislykkes. Med den globale spredning af de forskellige kernekulturers ideer er tværtimod grunden til fremtidens krige og konflikter lagt. Massernes psykologi er samtidig en guldgrube for
The Crowd
Gustave Le Bon's seminal work on crowd psychology has made a huge impact on society since it was first written in 1896. Le Bon shows how a mass of people resembles a simple multi-celled organism, and how rationality and reasoning rapidly decline to the lowest common multiple. In many ways, a crowd's consciousness resembles the Unconscious mind of psychoanalysis. Crowds 'think' in images, each 'cell' is freed from personal responsibility and all things appear possible. This is the origin of the multitude's often irrational beliefs and their ability to perform acts of unbelievable heroism or disgusting brutality. Successful leaders, such as Alexander, Joan of Arc, Napoleon and Hitler, have an instinctive but sure knowledge of crowd psychology; they coin phrases and conjure images that resonate, pushing the masses forward with an unstoppable momentum that can change world history. To read this book is to realise its deep relevance to our own time. The pattern repeats itself again and
