Présentation de l'éditeur

Since the publication of Le Bon sbook. The Crowd, little has been added to our knowledge of the mechanisms of crowdbehavior. As a practical problem, the habit of crowd-making is daily becoming a more serious menace to civilization. Events are making it more and more clear that, pressing as are certain economic questions, the forces which threaten society are really psychological. Interest in the economic struggle has to a large extent diverted attention from the significance of the problems of social psychology. Social psychology is sti Ua rather embryonic science, and this notwithstanding the fact that psychiatry has recently provided us with a method with which we may penetrate more deeply than ever before into the inner soiirces of motive and conduct. The remedy which I have suggested in Chapter Xdeserves a much more extended treatment than I have given it. It involves one of the great mooted questions of modern philosophical discussion.
