Group Psychology and the Analysis of The Ego

Human thought of our age; It is a continuously changing, gentle, and depressing circuit. There are two main reasons for these changes. The first one is the destruction of the religious and social beliefs that are the source of all elements of our civilization. The second one is the emergence of brand-new living and thinking conditions created by discoveries of sciences and techniques. The old pillars of our society where our old beliefs have been shaking and lost have collapsed one by one. Even so, the pressure and population of the crowds have always become a growing force. In this respect, the age we are entering will truly be the age of ego, savagery, and individual lust in the truest sense of the word.

Understanding the psychology of the societies is not knowing how to manage them; it constitutes the capital of a politician who does not want to be ruled at least entirely by them. Those who rule the world; The founders of religions and empires, prophets of all faiths, well-known dignitaries, as well as leaders of the humbler peoples, are psychologists with very exact knowledge of the souls of the societies. These people, who did not know that they were psychologists, smoothly dominated them, as they knew the spirit of the societies well.
