Georges Sorel
Georges Sorel was a French political theorist whose work focused on the role of myths in political action. In his influential book 'Reflections on Violence,' published in 1906, Sorel argued that people are often more motivated by myths than by rational arguments, a concept that has remained relevant in discussions of ideology and mass movements throughout history.
