Terrorismo, Hegel, Honneth

Abstract

My essay begins by analyzing how Hegel and Honneth’s theory of recognition would seem to lend support to insurgent terrorists’ struggle for the right to self-determination. Insurgent terrorism often looks like a concretization of what Honneth calls the moral protest of the oppressed launched against the dominating powers. Insurgent terrorism also bears affinity to the politics of recognition in the sense that it challenges the legitimacy and authority of the forces owned by the state, and seeks to gain public recognition instead for the legitimacy of their own cause. Precisely because what matters uppermost to terrorists is the gaining of recognition for their cause as just, terrorists are eager to seize the mass media as a means of spreading their ideas. My essay will end, however, by pointing out major differences between insurgent terrorism on the one hand, and Hegel and Honneth on the other.Mi trabajo empieza analizando cómo el pensamiento de Hegel y la teoría del reconocimiento de Honneth pudieran aparecer como apoyo conceptual en la lucha terrorista por el derecho de autodeterminación. El terrorismo a menudo puede tomar la apariencia de lo que Honneth llama la protesta moral de los oprimidos contra los poderes dominantes. El terrorismo, igualmente, muestra afinidad con la política del reconocimiento en tanto pone en cuestión la legitimidad y la autoridad de los poderes del Estado, y trata de ganar el reconocimiento público en favor de la legitimidad de su propia causa. Precisamente porque el gran objetivo del terrorismo es captar el reconocimiento para su causa como causa justa, los terroristas se afanan por ganarse a los medios de comunicación con el objeto de expandir sus ideas. Mi trabajo concluye, sin embargo, señalando diferencias fundamentales entre el terrorismo y el pensamiento de Hegel y Honneth
