A propos de cet article

22 p.; 18.5 cm. (The Burge memorial lecture ; 1958) `I will now ask you to step back a little from the scene where our thoughts have been moving and to regard it as a whole--as might perhaps a man from another planet. I believe that such a one visiting us in this decade would say: You are mad. You have discovered means to destroy yourselves and upon your free decision depends whether you will use them or not. But you act in such a manner that this decision is never made; instead you exploit the danger hovering over you to force from one another concessions of secondary importance. You see everything except what matters. Or worse; you do see it, yet take no relevant action. Your consciousness is split. You are mad. You are not illogical; on the contrary, you are very consistent and very deliberate. But your logic is the logic of madness.' (p. 15) VG, stapled, in lt. spotted orig. green on yellow wrapper.
