Abstract

Does the terrorist attack really have the quality of cowardice? From a holistic perspective terrorism articulates several deep and complex elements, whose powerful human factor in marking territories in relation to victims, and the rite of burning fear have exposed the problem of a huge amount of data from which, I believe, no ideas come out which are useful for avoiding passionate responses whose psychological effect is a form of beliefs covering the living substance of a phenomenon undergoing transformation. Theoretically, the aversion to combining a fact with its meaning is counterproductive because it implements the aggressive spirit (Curtolo 2012; 2016) that drives the rationality of “we-terrorist,” while bearing in mind that the basis of the brain’s psychic functioning requires recognition. This argument focuses on uncertainty and unpredictability linked to the motivational scale of the person who becomes a terrorist when responding to the call of narrative suggestions that connect the turmoil of political affirmation to the sacred.
