Abstract

This article is an introductory study about the thought of some intellectuals – above all Erich Maria Remarque – who lived the First World War and witnessed an historical period deeply disturbed by violence and death – the experience of temporality. For this study, I will investigate three topics in the thought of those intellectuals: the crisis of civilization idea; the limits of representation as cognitive category and the question of alterity.
