Death Science and literature Psychology Philosophy 19th century France Egger, Victor Xilliez, Paul

Questo volume – in cui si fa ampio uso di materiali inediti – è dedicato alla ricostruzione storica e teorica dei rapporti che intercorrono tra due figure chiave dell'ambiente accademico della Francia di fine Ottocento: Victor Egger (1848-1909) e il suo giovane allievo, Don Paul Xilliez (1868-1896). Il nucleo che viene preso in esame sulla scorta dei saggi introduttivi di Luciano Mecacci e di Riccardo Roni, riguarda le esperienze di premorte, ovvero quella «visione panoramica del morente» sulla quale si concentrano due fortunati articoli di Egger sull’Io dei morenti all’incrocio tra filosofia, psicologia e letteratura, pubblicati nel 1896 sulla Revue philosophique di Ribot. Entrambi i testi di Egger vengono presentati per la prima volta in traduzione italiana, seguiti dall’articolo postumo di Xilliez del 1897 sulla Psicologia del tubercoloso, dalla cui analisi emergono notevoli coincidenze con quanto Thomas Mann nei decenni successivi metterà a frutto nella Montagna magica. Ne fuoriesce uno studio storiografico e teorico che offre un contributo originale alla storia della filosofia e della psicologia, alla filosofia morale, fino ad aprire nuove linee di ricerca anche per la letteratura. [Abstract translated by DeepL Translator: This is the abstract in English… This volume - in which extensive use is made of unpublished materials - is devoted to the historical and theoretical reconstruction of the relations between two key figures in the academic milieu of late 19th-century France, Victor Egger (1848-1909) and his young pupil, Don Paul Xilliez (1868-1896). The core that is examined on the basis of the introductory essays by Luciano Mecacci and Riccardo Roni, concerns premortem experiences, or that "panoramic view of the dying" on which two successful articles by Egger on the ego of the dying at the intersection of philosophy, psychology and literature, published in 1896 in Ribot's Revue philosophique, focus. Both of Egger's texts are presented for the first time in Italian translation, followed by Xilliez's posthumous 1897 article on the Psychology of the Tuberculosis, from the analysis of which remarkable coincidences emerge with what Thomas Mann would put to good use in the Magic Mountain in the following decades. What emerges is a historiographical and theoretical study that makes an original contribution to the history of philosophy and psychology, to moral philosophy, to the point of opening up new lines of research for literature as well.]
