Life of facts

A comprehensive study of the foundations of beliefs, and what they consist of in terms of religious, emotional, intellectual, and collective elements, with an interesting discussion of the transformations that individual beliefs undergo when they become collective, and the transformations that religion encounters when it moves from one nation to another. It includes precise discussions on ethics, the doubts surrounding ethics, the weakness of the value of ethics based on reason and science, and the real factors that form collective and individual ethics. Le Bon dedicates a chapter to researching the realm of intellectual facts, discussing philosophy and science; he talks about emotional and utilitarian philosophies, the true value of philosophy, and the construction of scientific knowledge.
