Abstract
" Logocentrism ", " différance ", " le différend ", " discours agonal " : these are just a few of the key words of the late fashionable " neostructuralist " or " postmodern ", which have in common the expression of a violent suspicion of " la " reason. This suspicion could count on strong support in Germany, where the pre-fascist roots of these terms were less effectively repressed than in France. Derrida, whom I had advised not to operate with words that had lost their innocence through the use made of them by the social-darwinist extreme right, preferred to break with me theatrically. Jacques Bouveresse, on the other hand, spoke of " Spengler's revenge ". It's not enough not to know Spengler, Klages, Carl Schmitt and others ; you have to have convictions opposed to theirs.
