Description

Explore the complex evolution of political and social thought with The Crowd and the Mob (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1989, John McClelland provides a deep examination of how the concept of the crowd has been interpreted by philosophers, historians, and politicians from the classical era through the twentieth century. This work tracks the history of political thought and the justifications used for various forms of rule. By analyzing the writings of influential figures like Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Hitler, Gibbon, Carlyle, Michelet, Taine, and Freud, McClelland highlights a persistent anti-democratic bias within social and political discourse. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in ancient history, political science, and the development of modern social theory.
