On September11 2001: Philosophy and the "War against Terrorism"

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates diachronic and semantic changes of the meaning of “terrorism”, which ranges from the ways of exercising state power to non-state violent activities, focusing on the intensity of the self-explicitness of the term used in propaganda. By using an analogy of methods, both historically and formally, the author views the issue of constructing the “victim” identity of modern “democracies” that lead the “war” against terrorism. USA has become a hegemonic power in and through this war. It implements double-standard policy agains Islamic fundamentalism. The author concludes that in case of the phenomena of “terrorism” and “war against terrorism” there is a disjunctive synthesis of two kinds of nihilism based on absolutism.
