Paul Valéry, regards sur la guerre
- Publication type: Article from a collective work
- Collective work: La Grande Guerre des écrivains : études
- Author: Signorile (Patricia)
- Abstract: Valéry states that construction and destruction are intimately linked. Whether he is considering different aspects relating to institutional conflicts, the possibility of just war, or the role of intersubjective relations, Valéry sweeps away illusions and certainties about the usefulness of armed conflicts, the Great War having revealed “the powerlessness of knowledge to save anything at all”.
