Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War
This volume collects essays originally published in 1908 and 1909 alongside subsequent commentary developed to apply established psychological principles to current affairs. The author argues that psychology, when studied in relation to biology, can serve as a practical guide for understanding the human mind and predicting human behavior. Furthermore, the text suggests that these theoretical principles, formulated before the onset of war, offer a reliable basis for interpreting moral forces during times of national crisis.
