Overview

Everyone at times feels himself in the grip of social forces over which he has no control. The apparently impersonal nature of these forces has given rise to various mechanistic theories of social behavior. Enter the crowd. Since the publication of Le Bon's book, The Crowd, little has been added to our knowledge of the mechanisms of crowd-behavior. 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 social and economic questions, the forces which threaten society are really psychological. The Behavior of Crowds, written in 1920, points at the connection between crowd-thinking and the various traditional systems of intellectualist, absolutist, and rationalist philosophy. Now is the time to re-evaluate such habits of thinking. Notoir Books is a publisher of books on topics of esoteric interests, eccentric memoirs, overlooked history, otherworldly stories and distinctive voices. You can visit us at notoirbooks.com.
