description: The Psychology of Socialism was first published in 1899 in a period of crisisfor French democracy. The Third Republic had survived an attempted coupd'état, only to be confronted with what Georges Sorel and others called the"Bohemian revolution"-the triumph of radical and socialist forces in theDreyfus Affair. The emotionalism and hysteria of the period convinced Le Bonthat most political controversy is based neither on reasoned deliberation norrational interest, but on a psychology that partakes of hysterical religiosity.
