In 2016 an essay by the architect Marc Perelman was printed in Le Monde claiming Le Corbusier was a fascist and that the French academy had whitewashed this from architectural history, adducing the 2015 exhibition Mesures de l’homme held at the Centre Pompidou as evidence which did not mention Le Corbusier’s politics in the major retrospective of the architect, despite the appearance of three French books on Le Corbusier’s fascism in 2015, and the scandal that erupted around them. The letter was signed by myself, Zeev Sternhell, Xavier de Jarcy, Perelman, and Daniel de Roulet; and reprinted in English by Verso in January 2017. The Fondation le Corbusier, who are unhappy with this turn of events, wrote to me asking me why I signed the letter. This essay will attempt to answer the question by evaluating the French quarrel, on both sides, and allegations about Le Corbusier’s fascism.

勒·柯布西耶丑闻，还是勒·柯布西耶是法西斯主义者？

2016年，建筑师马克·佩雷尔曼（Marc Perelman）的一篇文章印在《世界报》上，声称勒·柯布西耶是法西斯主义者，而法国科学院已将其从建筑历史中粉刷一空，并以此作为2015年在蓬皮杜中心举办的展览《保证》的证据。尽管在2015年出现了三本有关勒·柯布西耶法西斯主义的法国著作，以及围绕它们的丑闻，但在建筑师的主要回顾展中没有提到勒·柯布西耶的政治。这封信是我本人，Zeev Sternhell，Xavier de Jarcy，Perelman和Daniel de Roulet签署的；并于2017年1月由Verso用英语转载。勒·柯布西耶基金会对这轮事件不满意，写信给我，问我为什么签署这封信。本文将通过评估双方的法国争吵来尝试回答这个问题，
