Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the world was plunged into a state of shock and uncertainty. In this time of crisis, two of the most influential philosophers of our time, Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida, came together to engage in a series of dialogues about the meaning of terror and the future of democracy.
Habermas and Derrida: Two Philosophical Giants
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most important social and political philosophers of the 20th century. His work on communicative action and deliberative democracy has had a profound impact on our understanding of how societies can function democratically.
Jacques Derrida is one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His work on deconstruction has challenged traditional notions of truth, meaning, and reality.
A Dialogue on Terror and Democracy
In their dialogues, Habermas and Derrida explore the complex relationship between terror and democracy. They discuss the ways in which terror can undermine democratic institutions and values, and they consider the challenges that democracies face in responding to terror without sacrificing their own principles.
Habermas argues that terror is a form of political violence that is designed to destroy the possibility of communication and dialogue. He argues that democracies must respond to terror by strengthening their commitment to democratic values and institutions.
Derrida argues that terror is a symptom of a deeper crisis in our understanding of the world. He argues that we need to rethink our notions of truth, meaning, and reality in order to understand the challenges that we face in the 21st century.
