As reflected in Gustave Le Bons masterpiece "The Psychology of Revolution," the author disparaged the Revolution and the revolutionary legacy because he distrusted the common person, particularly when making collective decisions. His analysis of revolutionary crowds pictured them as primitive animals devoid of good decisionmaking abilities who had to be reigned in by a "strong man" or dictatorial figure.Le Bon who grew up in France during the revolutionary wave that was pravelent in Europe in the mid 19th century uses in this book the French Revolution as his study case.Gustave Le Bon was a French polymath whose areas of interest included anthropology, psychology, sociology, medicine, invention, and physics.

The present age is not merely an epoch of discovery; it is also a period of revision of the various elements of knowledge. Having recognised that there are no phenomena of which the first cause is still accessible, science has resumed the examination of her ancient certitudes, and has proved their fragility. Today she sees her ancient principles vanishing one by one. Mechanics is losing its axioms, and matter, formerly the eternal substratum of the worlds, becomes a simple aggregate of ephemeral forces in transitory condensation. Despite its conjectural side, by virtue of which it to some extent escapes the severest form of criticism, history has not been free from this universal revision. There is no longer a single one of its phases of which we can say that it is certainly known. What appeared to be definitely acquired is now once more put in question. Among the events whose study seemed completed was the French Revolution. Analysed by several generations of writers, one might suppose it to be perfectly elucidated. What new thing can be said of it, except in modification of some of its details? And yet its most positive defenders are beginning to hesitate in their judgments. Ancient evidence proves to be far from impeccable. The faith in dogmas once held sacred is shaken. The latest literature of the Revolution betrays these uncertainties. Having related, men are more and more chary of drawing conclusions.

Ouspenskys five lectures which make up "The Psychology of Mans Possible Evolution" were not originally intended to be published.Reading them as a book gives practically no measure of the scale of time and study needed to realise, even partially, the ideas which are expressed or why Ouspensky expressed them in this short form.The Russian philosopher considers the "forgotten science of psychology". Disregarding the study of man as he is or seems to be, with which the modern schools concern themselves, he turns to the study of man as he may be, what mans evolution means and the question of whether there are special conditions necessary to achieve it.In the forty or fifty years since the lectures were composed, analytical, introspective psychology has captured the interest of the masses. It has become a major course of study in colleges and in the so-called free university movement and a dominant factor in discussions of education, art, sports and even in commerce, natural science and religion, particularly among the young. Along with this, the conquest of outer space has given an impetus to psychological and metaphysical fantasies of every sort. But psychology as self-knowledge of what a man may become, and what place he has the right to assume in the whole scheme of the universe, has remained a forgotten, almost a disappearing, science.

This edition of William James masterwork, The Principles of Psychology, contains his original notes, illustrations, tables and charts which clarify the theory described and arguments made.Appearing in 1890, The Principles of Psychology was a landmark text which established psychology as a serious scientific discipline. William James compiled a convincing, lengthy and broad thesis, devoting detail and vigorous analysis in every chapter. The texts comprehensiveness and superb presentation played a pivotal role in bringing the science of mental health closer toward the scholarly mainstream.The entire book is set out intuitively: there are two volumes, each of which has a certain number of chapters. While some chapters have sub-sections, James is careful not to make his textbook dry or convoluted in organisation. Each chapter introduces, discusses and concludes on a particular subject - whether it be the role of psychology as an academic and medical discipline, or the various functions of the human brain.Well-read and familiar with the books of his forerunners, William James nevertheless bristles with originality. Although the reader might be tempted to set aside the book for fear of it being outdated, this attitude is unjustified: the ideas pioneered by James remain as intellectually fresh and thought provoking as they did at the conclusion of the 19th century. The one area of the book belonging firmly in the past - namely the neurological experiments upon animals - stands distinct from the remainder of the principle text.Although the science of psychology has progressed enormously since William James published this book, The Principles of Psychology remains a supplementary text in many psychology courses in universities around the world. Concepts which James established, and his personal work on the spiritual element of human psychology, have and continue to inspire new books and theses by professionals and scholars in the field.William James also summarizes and presents the ideas of other, earlier figures working in the field, some of whom he admires, others he considers with disdain. All however receive hearing and citation in The Principles of Psychology. The aim for retrospective richness, as well as breadth across every major subject important in the field, further sets this textbook apart.Unlike other, abridged versions of The Principles of Psychology, this edition contains the entire text together with the many drawings and diagrams James appended in an effort to communicate better his notions. His notes are also present, and are organised and appended at the conclusion of each chapter for the reader to conveniently reference.

In The Power of Concentration by William Walker Atkinson, readers are guided through the powerful process of harnessing the minds ability to focus. This book explores various techniques and exercises to enhance concentration and ultimately achieve success in personal and professional endeavors. Atkinsons writing style is clear, concise, and practical, making it easy for readers to apply the principles discussed. Written during the New Thought movement in the early 20th century, the book reflects a time when individuals turned to the power of the mind for self-improvement and success. William Walker Atkinson was a pioneer in the self-help and personal development genres, drawing from Eastern and Western philosophies to create practical guides for individuals seeking to better themselves. As a successful lawyer and businessman, Atkinsons own experiences likely influenced his interest in exploring the power of the mind. His expertise and understanding of human psychology shine through in The Power of Concentration. I highly recommend The Power of Concentration to readers interested in enhancing their focus and achieving their goals. Atkinsons timeless wisdom and practical techniques make this book a valuable resource for anyone looking to harness the power of their mind for success.

In many respects, the discovery of the Pithecanthropus erectus appears to be one of the most important since the Neanderthal skull was brought to light in 1857, and hence the main facts concerning it deserve early notice in this Journal. This memoir contains a full description, with illustrations, of part of a skull, a molar tooth, and a femur, found in the later Tertiary strata of Java, and pertaining to a large anthropoid ape, which is believed to represent a new genus and family intermediate between the Simiid and Hominid. This would make it a veritable "missing link" between the higher apes and man, the discovery of which has so long been confidently predicted by many anthropologists.ABOUT THE AUTHORSEugene Dubois (1858-1940) was a Dutch paleoanthropologist and anatomist known for his significant contributions to the study of human evolution.Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-1899) was an American paleontologist and vertebrate paleontologist known for his extensive work on dinosaur fossils during the late 19th century.

Do the photoplays furnish us only a photographic reproduction of a stage performance; is their aim thus simply to be an inexpensive substitute for the real theater, and is their esthetic standing accordingly far below that of the true dramatic art, related to it as the photograph of a painting to the original canvas of the master? Or do the moving pictures bring us an independent art, controlled by esthetic laws of its own, working with mental appeals which are fundamentally different from those of the theater, with a sphere of its own and with ideal aims of its own?

Who has never allowed themselves to think good and bad, be beautiful and ugly, even if everything costs a price, this book comes to show that we have both sides, even when we dont want to, the thoughts of the other side of the poet, an anthology of life, the life in the book.

In considering the question of character, with its various irregularities and idiosyncracies, we shall have to accustom ourselves to dealing with factors which do not exist in consciousness at all. Strange as it may seem to the uninitiated, many of our thoughts, ideas, and motives are quite outside our normal consciousness, and of them only the resulting emotions and actions appear on the surface. This may be taken as an absolute and indisputable fact, and one which the reader should try to appreciate at the outset, although it is somewhat difficult to realise, for we always find it hard to apprehend and understand something which we can neither see nor touch.

This book is my course in essence. The induction techniques and other important material have been transcribed from recordings of actual class sessions. Lacking only the practice sessions, the visual demonstrations on student-subjects and the question and answer periods, the New Master Course in Hypnotism is one of the first attempts to present a comprehensive hypnosis course in book form. In this sense, it is a Textbook of Hypnotism.

Originally published in 1909, Otto Ranks "The Myth of the Birth of the Hero" offered psychoanalytical interpretations of mythological stories as a means of understanding the human psyche. Like his mentor Sigmund Freud, Rank compared the myths of such figures as Oedipus, Moses, and Sargon with common dreams, seeing in both a symbolic fulfilment of repressed desire.In Otto Ranks view, this book was the first to attempt a psychoanalytical interpretation of myths: In it he declared that psychological reality is responsible for organizing what is narrated by the myth or the story. This work, a "cornerstone" of the psychoanalytical study of mythology, and written at Freuds request, did indeed open up original perspectives in the methodological approach to the problem of the formation and function of myths.Breaking away from the naturalist analysis of mythology, Rank founded his study on the parallel between dream and myth and on the concept proposed by Freud of the "family romance of neurotics."

First published in England in 1748, "The Memoirs of Fanny Hill" (also known as "Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure") is an erotic novel by English novelist John Cleland."The Memoirs of Fanny Hill" chronicles the life of a London prostitute, describing with scatological and clinical precision many varieties of sexual behaviour. Although elegantly written, the novel was condemned as pornography and was suppressed from its initial publication, almost never being mentioned in literary circles. It was kept in print surreptitiously, however, and for almost two centuries the novel enjoyed a salacious reputation. The book was not published legally until 1963 in the United States and 1970 in England.

The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous. As a result, a great deal of speculation has been made about who actually wrote the book. The most common proposal is that The Kybalion was authored by William Walker Atkinson (1862 1932), either alone or with others, such as Paul Foster Case (1884 1954) and Elias Gewurz .The Kybalion is based on the extensive research and study of the world-old Hermetic Teachings. The book has dedicated to everyone interested in Secret Doctrines. There has been so little written upon this subject, not withstanding the countless references to the Teachings in the many works upon occultism, that the many earnest searchers after the Arcane Truths will doubtless welcome the appearance of this present volume. The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study. Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered. (Three Initiates, The Kybalion)

Joseph Benners The Impersonal Life is a spiritual classic that delves into the concept of the higher self and the connection between individuals and the divine. The book is written in a unique literary style that blends prose with direct guidance, creating a thought-provoking and introspective journey for readers. Benners use of allegorical storytelling and philosophical musings adds depth to the text, making it a compelling read for those seeking spiritual enlightenment. Joseph Benner, a prominent spiritual author in the early 20th century, drew inspiration from the New Thought and Theosophy movements. His personal experiences and quest for spiritual understanding led him to write The Impersonal Life as a guide for individuals looking to transcend their ego and find their true essence. Benners teachings continue to resonate with readers seeking spiritual growth and inner peace. I highly recommend The Impersonal Life to those interested in exploring their spiritual journey and deepening their understanding of the higher self. Benners timeless wisdom and profound insights offer valuable guidance for individuals seeking to connect with their inner divinity and live a more authentic life.

Group Psychology itself consists properly of two parts, that which is concerned to discover the most general principles of group life, and that which applies these principles to the study of particular kinds and examples of group life. The former is logically prior to the second; though in practice it is hardly possible to keep them wholly apart. The present volume is concerned chiefly with the former branch. Only when the general principles of group life have been applied to the understanding of particular societies, of nations and the manifold system of groups within the nation, will it be possible for Social Psychology to return upon the individual life and give of it an adequate account in all its concrete fullness.
