Abstract

A study conducted by the University of Buenos Aires explores the connection between psychological categories and political discourse in early 20th century Argentina. The study focuses on the book "El Hombre Mediocre" by Jose Ingenieros, which critiques the law for free democratic elections in Argentina. Ingenieros argues that democracy is a poor choice of government because the population is mostly mediocre and incapable of governing or electing suitable candidates. The study highlights the use of psychological categories such as genius, intelligence, and talent in assessing political movements and planning new societies. [Extracted from the article]
