The literary critic and NRF editor Jean Paulhan devised a way of thinking about fluctuating historical and psychological attitudes toward language, organizing them into a dialectic of "Rhetoric" and "Terror." In this article, I focus on Paulhan and Sartre's response to the interwar crisis of Terror and explore Rhetoric and Terror as a heuristic in the intellectual history of France.
文学评论家、NRF 编辑让·保罗·萨特(Jean Paulhan)设计了一种思考语言在历史和心理上波动态度的方式,将其组织成“修辞”和“恐怖”的辩证法。在本文中,我专注于保罗·萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)对两次世界大战之间恐怖危机的反应,并探讨修辞学和恐怖主义作为法国知识史的启发式方法。
