Espoir et théorie des catastrophes. L’intelligibilité : norme d’une science de l’acceptable
Fondée dans les années 70 par le mathématicien René Thom, la théorie des catastrophes devient rapidement, malgré l’engouement qu’elle suscite, sujet de controverse et de critique. Visant à décrire les phénomènes discontinus à l'aide de modèles mathématiques continus, elle se définit comme un langage mathématique, un outil d’intelligibilité du monde mais son manque de rigueur et sa nature qualitative laissent sceptique positivistes et mathématiciens purs.

During this period, debate centering on the use of nuclear bombs in future wars proliferated among government officials, scientists, religious leaders, and in the popular press. In the following article from Collier's, former Navy lieutenant commander William H. Hessler, using data from the Strategic Bombing Survey, argued that saturation bo

AT dawn the ridge emerges massed and dun
In the wild purple of the glow'ring sun,
Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud
The menacing scarred slope; and, one by one,
Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire.
The barrage roars and lifts. Then, clumsily bowed
With bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear,
Men jostle and climb to meet the bristling fire.
Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear,
They leave their trenches, going over the top,
While time tick
