Le coup d’œil du scarabée : Charles Nordmann ou pourquoi la guerre est l’affaire des savants
David Aubin
Abstrak
This article explores the role of scientists in understanding armed conflict. The author focuses on the figure of Charles Nordmann, a French physicist who, during the First World War, used his scientific knowledge to contribute to the war effort. He revisits Nordmann’s account of mobilization and focuses on his role as science columnist for the Revue des deux mondes before, during and after the war. Through his involvement on the frontline and in the processes of invention for defense, and above all his writings for this magazine, Nordmann defended the idea that war should not only be the business of the military and politicians, but also that of scientists, who can contribute crucial expertise at various levels in conflicts.
