Mosso is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work examines the life and theories of Franz Anton Mesmer, particularly his concept of "animal magnetism," and how it intertwined with the social and scientific changes occurring during his time. The book serves as a historical analysis of Mesmer’s practices and their reception within the medical community, especially in the context of the French Revolution and the ensuing societal upheaval. In "Mesmer e il magnetismo," A. Mosso provides a comprehensive account of Mesmer's life, emphasizing his mystical inclinations and the controversies surrounding his methods of healing. The narrative begins with Mesmer's early work and observations, particularly his use of magnets to treat illnesses in patients such as those suffering from hysteria. As the text unfolds, it details the tension between Mesmer and the medical establishment in Paris, culminating in a commission established by King Louis XVI to investigate the effects of Mesmer's practices. Despite the scientific scrutiny, the public's fascination with Mesmer and his methods soared, illustrating the struggle between emerging scientific rationality and the enduring allure of mysticism. Mosso ultimately reflects on the legacy of Mesmer's contributions to the understanding of psychological phenomena, suggesting that his influence persists in modern interpretations of hypnosis and mental health treatments.
