Psychologie des temps nouveaux by Gustave Le Bon
"Psychologie des temps nouveaux" by Gustave Le Bon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the psychological forces that shape the dynamics of modern societies, particularly in the context of the aftermath of World War I. Le Bon explores how moral forces and psychological factors influence warfare and societal transformations, providing insights into the collective behavior of different nations. The opening of "Psychologie des temps
nouveaux" presents a comprehensive introduction to the themes of the book, focusing on the immense psychological shifts caused by the war.

He discusses how traditional views on morality and social norms have been challenged, resulting in a chaotic state where new beliefs emerge, thus setting the stage for significant changes in the social landscape.
