IL CANTIERE SEMPRE APERTO DELLE EDIZIONI CATTANEANE

150 years after Carlo Cattaneo gave his six “Psychology of Associated Minds†lectures at the Lombard Institute of Arts and Sciences (1859-1866), the new edition of these and other unpublished texts, edited by B. Boneschi, is a significant outcome of a renewed interest in his thought and writings. In this essay, Carlo Lacaita retraces the history of the editions which, in spite of errors and difficulties, have increasingly recomposed and circulated the vast and scattered production of one of the major nineteenth-century European intellectuals.
