Klappentext zu „The Pure Society: From Darwin to Hitler “
How did the notions of "race" and "ethnic group," under the cover of scientificlegitimacy, get used for political ends? This work retraces the history of biological
conceptions of society and their racist and eugenicist applications from the end
of the nineteenth century to the post-Second World War epoch. André Pichot
analyzes the relationship between science, politics and ideology, through the
examination of specific cases: from Nazism to the various eugenicist research
programs launched or financed by eminent scientific organizations from the
beginning of the twentieth century onwards. And, today, with the mapping of the
human genome and rapid advances in gene therapies, he warns that the dream of
a "pure society" is in danger of resurrection.
