Description

First published in 1989, John McClelland's persuasive and original examination traces the idea of 'the crowd' through the writings of philosophers, historians and politicians from the classical era to the twentieth century. This Routledge Revivals edition analyses histories of political thought and their justifications for forms of rule, revealing the persistent and profoundly anti-democratic bias woven throughout political and social theory. McClelland investigates the work of major thinkers including Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Hitler, Gibbon, Carlyle, Michelet, Taine and Freud, exploring how their ideas shaped understanding of collective behaviour and mass movements. Essential reading for scholars of political philosophy, history of ideas, and social theory seeking to understand how Western thought has conceptualised the masses and crowd behaviour across centuries.

Key Features

John McClelland's classic study examines crowd theory from Plato through twentieth-century thinkers, providing comprehensive historical perspective.

Analyses anti-democratic biases in political thought by studying Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Gibbon, Carlyle, Michelet, Taine and Freud.

Routledge Revivals edition restores this 1989 work for contemporary readers interested in political philosophy and history of ideas.

Traces how the concept of 'the crowd' evolved in writings of philosophers and historians, revealing patterns in Western political theory.
