Politics and Crowd-morality; a Study in the Philosophy of Politics

By Arthur Emanuel Christensen, A. Cecil Curtis, Arthur Christensen

Book Overview

""Politics and Crowd-Morality: A Study in the Philosophy of Politics"" is a book written by Arthur Christensen in 1915. In this book, Christensen explores the relationship between politics and crowd morality, which he defines as the collective moral consciousness of a group of people. He argues that crowd morality can have a significant impact on political decision-making and that politicians must take this into account when making policy decisions. Christensen also examines the concept of democracy and its limitations, questioning whether it is truly the best form of government. He suggests that democracy can lead to the tyranny of the majority and that other forms of government, such as aristocracy or monarchy, may be more effective in certain situations. Throughout the book, Christensen draws on a range of philosophical and political theories, including those of Plato, Aristotle, and Nietzsche, to support his arguments. He also provides historical examples of political decision-making and the impact of crowd morality on these decisions. Overall, ""Politics and Crowd-Morality: A Study in the Philosophy of Politics"" offers a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between politics and morality, and challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about democracy and other forms of government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
