Нация как событие: война, Германия, Франция в .Декарте. Шарля Пеги
Abstract
The essay analyzes a peculiar vision of the essence of French and German nations as represented by Charles Peguy in his late work Note conjointe sur M. Descartes et la philosophie cartésienne. It gives a brief outline of the thinker’s life and career with a focus on the major paradox of his literary nationalism: Peguy’s conception formulated in the wake of the Great War somewhat mystically anticipated both the character of the impending military conflict and the subsequent course of European history that resulted in a new slaughter in 1939.
