Gustave Le Bon is a French psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist and historian, publicist, best known as the founder of social psychology and the author of one of the first versions of the doctrine of the mass society.

Gustave Le Bon defended the idea of racial determinism in the development of civilisation. As the foundation of social evolution, he considered not the mind, but the irrational and volitional, emotional sphere of mental life - feelings and beliefs.

«Psychology of Peoples» is devoted to the formation, development and extinction of human races and the role played in these processes by the ideas and people that govern the people.

In fact, it was this work that marked the beginning of social psychology as a science.
