Arguing for `fem...

Une epidemie de suicides parmi les eleves de ce temps suscite en effet un interet accru pour la cause de l'enfant et de l'adolescent chez les auteurs de langue allemande de l'epoque. Ceux-ci se font donc les transcripteurs d'une triple crise qui mine le tournant du siecle et qui est celle de la pensee, de la connaissance et de la pedagogie.
