Dominique Parodi: un philosophe au service de la diplomatie française pendant la Première Guerre mondiale

Abstract

In 1916, the philosopher Dominique Parodi accomplished a mission in the Milanese satellite office of the Institut français de Florence : his involvment in propaganda for a close alliance between France and Italy against germanism is partially linked to the memory of his father, a franco-italian writer. In his lectures, notes for the Nouvelles internationales and articles on French political life for the Revue des nations latines, Parodi contributed to the promotion of latin fraternity, underlining its cultural and moral foundations and giving to latinity an idealistic and democratic definition.
