Coming on the heels of the recruitment, in a major UK-based human geography journal, of Dandieu’s Documents texts as a departure-point for theorising world city topologies, this marks the reintroduction of Dandieu’s thought into the mainstream of one of the many fields to which he made original contributions, other than to political ideas. Since both articles dealt with Émile Meyerson, they were among the numerous texts by Dandieu rediscovered in a 2004 dissertation, on the psychological contexts of Meyerson’s philosophy of science, by Frédéric Fruteau de Laclos, who has otherwise been instrumental in the current renewal of interest in a once-towering figure of French epistemology. The significance of the two contributions of Arnaud Dandieu (1897-1933) to the review Documents has only recently been realised – though not, until now, by scholars of the avant-garde.
