| Summary | "Cesare Lombroso, a Modern Man of Science" by Hans Kurella is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life and contributions of Cesare Lombroso, an influential figure in criminology and criminal anthropology, while also highlighting his impact on societal perceptions of crime and criminal behavior. Through an exploration of Lombroso's research, the book presents a nuanced view of his legacy, discussing both his scientific methodologies and his role as a reformer in criminology. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Lombroso’s early life, influences, and academic development. It outlines his origins in a family troubled by socio-political upheaval and economic decline, framing Lombroso as a rebellious thinker shaped by the revolutionary spirit of his youth. Kurella introduces the reader to the significant figures who influenced Lombroso's scientific ethos, including those from the fields of French positivism and German materialism. Overall, the opening portion of the book emphasizes the formative experiences and intellectual currents that shaped Lombroso into a pioneering figure in the study of criminal anthropology.
