The work critiques contemporary political thought for its neglect of human nature, arguing that understanding political instincts is vital to comprehending and improving democratic systems. The opening of the text sets out Wallas' intentions and acknowledges the intellectual debt he owes to early psychological thinkers. He highlights the distinction between rational political reasoning and the more primal, instinctual nature of human behavior that influences political actions. Through a detailed preface and introduction, Wallas discusses the historical context of democratic governance, the challenges faced by representative democracy, and the inadequacies in current political sciences that fail to account for the emotional and irrational factors at play within politics. This scholarly discourse paves the way for a deeper analysis throughout the work, suggesting that a more nuanced understanding of human impulses could lead to the advancement of democratic processes.
