    "L'Homme et les Sociétés" est une ¿uvre majeure de Gustave Le Bon, un psychologue social et sociologue français du XIXe siècle. Bien que cette ¿uvre ne porte pas spécifiquement sur la Révolution française, Gustave Le Bon a écrit sur les foules et les mouvements sociaux, ce qui pourrait inclure une analyse de la Révolution française dans le contexte de la psychologie des foules et des révolutions.L'une des idées clés de Gustave Le Bon, exposée dans ses travaux, est que les foules ont un comportement collectif différent de celui de l'individu isolé.

    Lorsque j¿eus poussé la porte du bar, je fus soudain très ennuyé. Il y avait là beaucoup de monde, beaucoup de jolies femmes, beaucoup de jeunes gens élégants, et j¿eus la pénible impression de ne pas être assez bien vêtu pour prendre place parmi eux sans une véritable honte. J¿étais propre, mais la doublure de mon veston demandait grâce depuis de longues semaines, mon pantalon avait des goitres aux genoux et ma casquette était de fort mauvaise coupe. Quant à ma cravate, mieux valait n¿en pas parler. Je me sentis si gêné que j¿eus envie de m¿en aller. Par bonheur, j¿aperçus tout de suite mon cousin qui m¿attendait. Il m¿appela d¿un grand geste. Je n¿étais pas en retard ; toutefois, je remarquai qüil avait pourtant déjà bu trois verres. Il était donc là depuis longtemps.
