      ABSTRACT

      Aron’s own statement one year before his death, was his life’s work. Flanked

      by other motives, this reflection surrounds primarily the two thematic areas

      that have provided the title of today’s contribution: the problem of the

      totalitarian and the question of international relations in the age of the

      Cold War and in the shadow of nuclear weapons. Whereas the first question issued directly from Aron’s experience in his youth,3 the second resulted

      from the first; it was born of it insofar as the Cold War years saw Europe as

      a powerless continent in the shadow of the Soviet sphere of influence.4 For

      Aron, this culminated in the problem as to whether or not, at the end of a

      century of ‘guerres en chaıˆne’,5 of a thirty-year long total war whose history

      provided the foil of his reflections, a third – all-annihilating – exchange of

      blows was irrevocable according to the laws of plausibility.6
