Report of the Jury (May 14, 1962)
Considérant la haute distinction et
l'influence considérable des travaux de Monsieur Chaïm PERELMAN,
considérant l'originalité de cette
oeuvre dans le domaine des sciences humaines,
considérant la méthode nouvelle
qu'elle institue entre l'analyse logique et les procédés de choix
arbitraires,
considérant qu'elle étudie la
communication humaine en excluant aussi bien la violence que la
suggestion,
considérant qu'elle est une
philosophie du raisonnable et une véritable psychanalyse de la raison
concrète,
décide de conférer le Prix Francqui
1962 à Monsieur le Professeur Chaïm PERELMAN.
