About Gustave Le Bon
Gustave Le Bon (1841–1931) was a French social psychologist, anthropologist, and sociologist best known for his influential work on crowd psychology, particularly through his book "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," published in 1895. He studied how collective behavior impacts individual sentiments and actions, asserting that individuals in a crowd often lose their rational decision-making abilities. Le Bon's theories laid the groundwork for later studies in social psychology and group dynamics, influencing fields ranging from sociology to political theory.
