Greppi, Claudio (Author)
I saggi che compongono questo volume derivano da ricerche condotte dall'autore fra il 1992 e il 2013 in circostanze e con finalità diverse (convegni, riviste, pubblicazioni collettive). Il filo conduttore è dato dai riferimenti alla figura e alle opere di Alexander von Humboldt, del quale l'autore curò nel 1992 l’edizione italiana di un testo dal titolo "Examen critique de l’histoire de la géographie du Nouveau Continent" (1835). In quel periodo von Humboldt era già ritornato a Berlino, dove organizzava i famosi congressi degli scienziati e manteneva una fitta corrispondenza con i suoi interlocutori tanto in Francia che in quella che stava divenendo l’America latina indipendente. In tutta la sua lunga esistenza (1769-1859), von Humboldt non smise mai di esercitare una notevole influenza sulla comunità scientifica europea: il suo ruolo è stato quello di promuovere una quantità di campi del sapere e di attivare la formazione e la diffusione di grandi inventari della conoscenza ‘fisica’, ovvero geografica. Certamente è stato l’uomo di scienza più celebrato, forse troppo, per tutta la prima metà dell’Ottocento, soprattutto a Parigi e a Berlino. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The essays in this volume derive from research conducted by the author between 1992 and 2013. The common thread is given by the references to the figure and works of Alexander von Humboldt, of whom the author edited in 1992 the Italian edition of a text entitled "Examen critique de l'histoire de la géographie du Nouveau Continent" (1835 ). By that time, von Humboldt had already returned to Berlin, where he organized the famous congresses of scientists and maintained close correspondence with his interlocutors both in France and in what was becoming the independent Latin America. Throughout his long existence (1769-1859), von Humboldt never ceased to exert a considerable influence on the European scientific community: his role was to promote a number of fields of knowledge and to activate the formation and dissemination of large inventories of 'physical' (that is, geographic) knowledge. Certainly he was the most celebrated man of science, perhaps too much, throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, especially in Paris and Berlin.]
