Summary of the Research Proposal<\/h4>\n

The bibliography on Korais has paid almost no attention to his written work on medicine. I propose to focus on this omission. The initial question of the proposed research is rather simple: Was Korais a doctor ? The bibliography hitherto answers \u201crather no\u201d. The research project that I propose focuses on the study of Korais\u2019 theses on medicine, which lie outside the \u201ccanon\u201d. Pyretologiae Synopsis is the largest in length thesis of 1786. This work, to which Korais\u2019 colleagues and teachers often refer, constitutes an attempt of mapping an \u201ceconomia animalis\u201d based on \u201cfever\u201d, in a period in which the study of passions and desires comes to the forefront, culminating, of course, in Sade. Korais\u2019 second thesis, Medicus Hippocraticus, will be examined in the framework of the reform program of Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Royale de M\u00e9decine, which is closely connected with the University of Montpellier. There is always the possibility of certain surprises in the files of Korais\u2019 teachers in Montpellier.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0<\/em>research project was funded by the Research Centre for the Humanities (RCH), with the support of the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation.
