Charles Blondel
Charles Blondel (born October 10, 1876 in Lyon , † February 19, 1939 in Paris ) was a French psychologist who founded collective psychology .
After studying at the École normal supérieure in Paris , Blondel was promoted to Dr. med. and in 1914 Dr. phil. PhD . From 1919 he taught as a professor of psychology at the University of Strasbourg . From 1927 he was a corresponding member of the Institut de France .
With recourse to the views of Auguste Comte and especially Émile Durkheim , for Blondel conscious life was more peculiar to the species than to the individual . According to this, mental illnesses are (temporarily or definitely) non-adaptations of the individual to a social group or to humanity.
The task of collective psychology is to explore an objective history of the human mind with the help of which one can come to an understanding of individual behavior.
