Jules Soury (1842 - 1915) Theorist and historian of the neuropsychology, contemporary of Dejerine, with which it maintained the contacts fréquents.
He studied the Neurologie with the Salpêtrière and was admiror of Ernest Renan. Being the friend of Paul Bert which had created the November 30th 1881 a pulpit of History of the psychological doctrines to the practical École of the High Studies (EPHE), he sees himself allotting this place which was also coveted by Théodule Ribot. He will teach 1881 with 1898.
He is the author of the foreword of a book of Pietro Siciliani entitled: “Of modern psychogenesis to the service of the historical and social biological studies”, ( Beyond psicogenia moderna in servigio degli studi biologici, storici E sociali ) put at the Index in 1882.
In 1899, the Academy of Science and the Académie of Medicine crown its work of 1863 pages: " the central nervous system, structures and functions, history criticizes theories and doctrines "
Pathological personality (cf writings of Leon Daudet about it), it quickly fell in the lapse of memory perhaps because it was not suitable to quote this author with the ideas of Extrême right-hand side and from a fanatic Antisémitisme.
