#france #war #germany "[...] The day fixed for the attack came. The first company—François' company—was sent ahead to skirmish. It was simply mowed down. Another followed, and then another. They finally had to fall back, leaving their dead and part of the wounded on the field. The little second lieutenant was not among those who returned. Two days later our men took the offensive again. The elder brother, storming the German trenches with his regiment, passed close by the body of his little François as it lay there all shot to pieces.

On ne considérait plus comme un devoir social d’égorger une créature vivante pour la punir d’un malentendu : cette conception héréditaire du meurtre par #honneur s’accordait peu désormais avec les scepticismes de la philosophie moderne, et, surannée depuis la Révolution, elle semblait déjà vaguement ridicule. Il convient d’ajouter que la terrible crise de 1902, qui avait tant versé de sang, porta les esprits à une forte réaction contre toute idée d’homicide et la génération nouvelle en demeura profondément impressionnée. Le respect de la vie devint un principe fondamental de la sociologie : tout le monde fut d’accord, pour ne plus tuer sans nécessité urgente, et les assassins se virent définitivement considérés comme atteints d’aberration par dégénérescence : la peine capitale, en 1
