The psychology of peoples

Book • 1898
Gustave Le Bon's 'The Psychology of Peoples' extends his crowd psychology theories to examine national and racial character, arguing collective mentalities shape historical outcomes.

The book reflects the intellectual currents of its time and attempts comparative cultural psychology across civilizations.

Modern readers should be mindful of dated methods and biases, but the work historically influenced social and political thought.

Lynch cites Le Bon among sources for civilizational analysis in the episode bibliography.
