The Existential Demand of the Mass

Abstract

This article examines mass theory and mass dynamics from an existential
psychological perspective. Through an existential reading of the paradigm of
mass psychology, the article seeks to uncover new perspectives on contemporary
existential challenges. It is stated that mass affects the individual.
Therefore, the article seeks to understand the individual’s possibilities for
choosing authentically in the mass, read through an existential psychological
perspective. The article states that there must be an intermediate existential
in the encounter with the masses, which influences the individual in the direction
of either authenticity or self-deception. At the same time, this intermediate
existential opens up the potential for an existentially robust choice.
The article lays out compromising dynamics for the subjectivity of the individual,
as well as providing an insight into a deeper understanding of the
dynamics of the mass. Finally, the individual’s position and possibilities in
the mass are perceived.
