Abstract
In Des sociétés animales: étude de psychologie comparée (1877) Alfred Espinas conceives an overall equivalence between the social and the biological organism. The aim of this essay is to complicate this reading, showing how the entire work is crossed by epistemological movements that weaken such an association. Particularly, by focusing on the political shifts of his organic sociology, a fundamental though forgotten moment in the history of the concept of society will be reconstructed.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
