The Psychology Of Jingoism (1901)

The Psychology of Jingoism is a book written by John Atkinson Hobson and published in 1901. The book explores the psychological roots of jingoism, which is defined as extreme patriotism or aggressive nationalism. Hobson argues that jingoism is not a natural or inevitable part of human nature, but rather a product of social and political conditions. He examines the ways in which jingoism is fostered by propaganda, media, and education, and how it can be used to manipulate public opinion and justify war. Hobson also explores the psychological effects of jingoism on individuals and society, including the suppression of critical thinking and the promotion of conformity. The book is a seminal work in the field of psychology and political science, and remains relevant today in the study of nationalism and international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
