Conscience Fanaticism (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How beliefs and language steer moral action and public power—and how ideas spread through society.

This nonfiction study examines how minds are guided by suggestion, how religion historically stabilized or manipulated social values, and how media shapes what people think and do. It connects psychology, culture, and politics to show how public power is built through shared symbols, stories, and propaganda.

• How the mind can be steered by external suggestions and inner impulses alike.
• Why religion and moral systems have influenced social order and governance.
• How different press practices affect public opinion and the spread of ideas.
• The distinction between propaganda, genuine information, and the motives behind media.
