The psychological laws of the development of peoples

Thought and sociology remain with great care for the concepts of civilizational and cultural advancement of human behavior in its various directions. In this book, Gustave Le Bon proposes to discuss the impact of the psychological dimensions of any nation or human gathering on its cultural formation, and its reactions which ultimately form its civilizational framework in thought and behavior. The author sees that the values, principles, and ideas entrenched in the collective mind of a particular nation appear in the form of specific patterns of contexts in dealing with laws, arts, and customs, which deepen through the accumulation of experience over time to reach the level of firm belief and doctrine. He believes that the set of values emerging from collective psychological behavior is a safety valve that stabilizes its existence and continuity, and creates its uniqueness among nations. The destruction of these values is an indicator of their imminent disintegration and disappearance.
