Summary "Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War" by W. Trotter is a psychological exploration written in the early 20th century. The text examines the interplay between human behavior, social psychology, and the instinctual drives that guide societies, particularly in times of war. Trotter asserts that understanding these instincts is crucial for comprehending human actions and societal dynamics. The opening of the book sets the foundation for an in-depth discussion on the significance of herd instinct in shaping individual behavior and national morale. Trotter outlines how instincts, particularly those related to gregariousness, affect decision-making and social interactions. He argues that individual actions are often driven by forces of social cohesion and collective sentiment, which need to be understood to navigate the complexities of governance, especially during wartime. The text promises a speculative yet systematic approach to psychology, aiming to connect instinctual behavior to contemporary societal issues. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
