Abstract:
An essay on Nazi ideology, focusing on the book by J.P. Stern (London, 1974), which appeared in French in 1985 ("Hitler: Le Führer et le peuple"). Contends that Nazism opposed the concepts of conscience, thought, and reason to those of the past, direct action, pure will, and the pure present. The concepts opposed by Hitler (discussed under the global term "representation") are personified in Nazi ideology by the Jew. The elimination of the Jew, who is the source of intellectuality, conscience, and history, was necessary according to Nazism for the purification of the spirit of the past in order to promote the desired qualities of instinctive naivete and direct action.
