Résumé
From the start of his studies at École Normale Supérieure in 1894, Charles Péguy fought for the Armenian cause. He has never changed his line, and opened the Cahiers de la quinzaine to the Armenian question (via the collaboration of Pierre Quillard in 1902). Reasoning in terms of “Human Rights” and pushing aside any argument that degrades any struggle into political maneuvering, Péguy committed himself for the Captain Dreyfus, that Jewish bourgeois – a “class enemy”, as the Socialist camp would have put it – as well as for Armenia. In all these fights, he refused to take into account any machinery calculations that lead to ask oneself in front of all disasters: “Into whose hands do we play when we defend law?”
