al organization? 19. How does Le Bon explain the mental anarchy at the time of the French Revolution? 20. What was the nature of this mental anarchy in the different social classes? Are revolutions always preceded by mental anarchy? 21. What was the relative importance of belief and of reason in the French Revolution? 22. What are the likenesses and differences between the origin and development of bolshevism and of the French Revolution? 23.
