The masses are outside the lifeworld, but are not controlled by state or organizations. The masses reclaim the rooms of the power for purposes of the lifeworld. They differ from the pack: they have no leader as a superego - but heroes as egoideals - and they are a spontaneously arisen gathering of people which have synchronized their goals
and movements. The big machines of human beings which moves in time to music and which display the omnipotence of the power also differ from the masses. To participate in the masses is an intensive experience which the article compare with the descriptions which the existentialists offer us of the experience of existence of the single human being. The article diffentiates between three forms of masses: the enthusiastic masses, the mouming masses and the revolting masses.

Ophavsret er tidsskriftets og forfatternes. Det er gældende praksis, at artikler publiceret i Psyke & Logos, som efterfølgende oversættes til andet sprog, af forfatteren frit kan publiceres i internationale tidsskrifter, dog således at det ved reference fremgår, at den oversatte artikel har et forlæg i en dansksproget version i Psyke & Logos. Artikler kan frit deles og linkes til på forsknings- og undervisningsnetværk (så som Blackboard). Link foretrækkes, fordi det giver oplysning om brug af tidsskriftets artikler.
