Biography
Francesco Soave was born at Lugano, on 10 June 1743.[1] He frequented the schools of the Order of Clerics Regular of Somasca. After the completion of his studies, he joined the same congregation of his teachers. He was sent to Parma, where the minister Guillaume du Tillot destined him to the teaching of poetic and eloquence first at the College for Noblemen, then at the university.[2] Soave introduced Locke's and Kant's philosophy in Italy through his teaching and translations.[1] His versions of Salomon Gessner's New Idylls and of Edward Young's The force of religion exercised a certain influence on the preromantic movement in Italy.[1] In 1772 he wote one of his most important philosophical work, Intorno all'istituzione naturale d'una società e d'una lingua, e all'influenza dell'una e dell'altra sulle umane cognizioni (On the natural formation of a society and of one language, and their influence on human cognitions). Soave presented the work to an announcement of competition from the Prussian Academy of Sciences, in which, instead, the winner was Johann Gottfried Herder.[1] In 1772 he was appointed professor of philosophy at the Brera Academy in Milan. He introduced important reforms in the method of teaching, wrote and translated many works of education and established numerous schools in Lombardy.[3] His pedagogical interests induced him to write works for children. His Novelle Morali (Moral Tales) obtained the prize instituted by Count Carlo Bettoni, at Brescia, for the best collection calculated to excite in youthful minds the love of virtue and abhorrence of vice, is justly held in the highest estimation. In 1795, Soave drafted against the ideas of the French Revolution the Vera idea della Rivoluzione di Francia (True meaning of the French revolution), which was frequently reprinted.[4] He died in Pavia on 17 January 1806, where he was professor of ideology, at the university.[1]
