Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library) "Le déséquilibre du monde" by Gustave Le Bon is a scientific and philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book likely examines the causes and consequences of the instability and upheavals facing modern civilizations, especially in the aftermath of major global conflicts. It focuses on the psychological, social, and political forces that drive societal change and contribute to persistent disharmony and disorder in the world. The opening of this work sets the tone by contrasting the rational advancements of science with the persistent irrationality of political and social life, emphasizing how deep-seated instincts and inherited sentiments often overrule intelligence in human affairs. Le Bon reviews the shifting nature of societal ideals, the failures of post-war diplomacy—particularly the errors in psychological and political judgment by European statesmen—and the unintended consequences of the Treaty of Versailles. He also explores the revival of Islam and critiques the West’s misunderstanding of Muslim mentality, the complex issue of Alsace, and the economic illusions surrounding postwar reparations. This introduction establishes a sweeping critique of the inability of modern societies to reconcile progress in knowledge with persistent psychological and cultural impulses, framing the “disequilibrium” not just as economic or political imbalance, but as a deeper problem rooted in human nature and collective psychology.
