Abstract

The Lonely Frontier of Reason
Crozier, Michel | May 27, 1968 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political climate of the U.S. One naturally thinks first of the political climate, of the moral fever agitating the youth and troubling the nation over the war in Vietnam and one is struck by its familiar European character. A French visitor in particular, who has lived through the Algerian War, is impressed by the extraordinary parallel; postures assumed, rationalizations, arguments on both sides, the logic and even the tone are similar. But if one dirty war resembles another and if the interplay of politics and morality is so similar in the U.S. and in France, those who speak of the radicalization or the Europeanization of the U.S. tend to forget how temporary these manifestations may be.
