L’autore in questa premessa presenta la raccolta di saggi sullo psicologo cosentino della folla, Pasquale Rossi, quasi sconosciuto in Italia e famoso negli Stati Uniti come uno dei fondatori della psicologia della folla. I saggi analizzano la cultura italiana ed europea tra Otto e Novecento, e particolarmente trattano del positivismo e della sociologia italiana del periodo. L’argomento interessante è il legame tra la cultura positivistica, il socialismo e la questione meridionale e, in questo contesto, Pasquale Rossi è stato un autore significativo dell’epoca.
