Annotation

Nuclear weapons have in the past been presented as rational and legitimate. However, in current discourse they are viewed as generating insecurity. The theory of nuclear winter is part of the rephrasing of the mental structures underlying the nuclear issue, and focus one of the ingredients of the process of reversal and retelling toward giving nuclear weapons a new role: something to be sacrified for order and harmony.
