• Resumen

  • The last nineteenth century was, in many senses, a modernization period characterized by the irruption of the crowd in the life of European societies. A large number of books, articles and novels appeared at this time just to explain this new fact. Damiano Palano’s book, (Il potere della moltitudine. L’invenzione dell’inconscio collettivo nella teoria politica e nelle scienze sociali tra Otto e Novecento) is a deep and extensive study of this intellectual production motivated by the impact of multitude in European consciousness.
