Sommario/riassunto

Frédéric Keck's 'How French Moderns Think' explores the intellectual legacy of the Lévy-Bruhl family, tracing four generations from Lucien Lévy-Bruhl to contemporary figures in sociology, criminology, and public health. The book delves into the evolution of French social theory against historical backdrops like the Dreyfus Affair and the rise of statistics and epidemiology. By examining the contributions of each family member, Keck highlights shifts in sociological thought and the



integration of irrationality within rational frameworks. The book is intended for readers interested in the history of social science, anthropology, and French intellectual history.
