The Psychology Of Nations - George Everett Partridge - Bog

The Psychology of Nations: A Contribution to the Philosophy of History, written by George Everett Partridge in 1919, is a book that explores the idea that the collective psychology of nations has a significant impact on their history. Partridge argues that nations have distinctive psychological characteristics that are shaped by their history, culture, and environment. He suggests that these psychological characteristics can influence the actions and decisions of nations, leading to certain patterns of behavior and historical outcomes.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the psychological factors that influence nations, including their collective consciousness, emotions, and values. Partridge also discusses the role of leadership and propaganda in shaping national psychology. The second part of the book examines the historical implications of national psychology, including the rise and fall of empires, the impact of war and conflict, and the influence of economic and social factors.Throughout the book, Partridge draws on examples from history to illustrate his arguments. He discusses the psychological factors that contributed to the rise of ancient empires such as Rome and Greece, as well as the psychological factors that led to the downfall of more recent empires such as the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire. He also examines the psychological factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I and the subsequent peace negotiations.Overall, The Psychology of Nations is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between psychology and history. It provides readers with a deeper understanding of the psychological factors that shape the behavior of nations and the historical outcomes that result.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
