Kilka uwag o warunkach pokoju. Myśl o człowieczeństwie

Abstract

Although the terrorist-war experience of the years since 2001 lead to conclusions that the last years negatively affected world peace, the Paris terror attacks of 2015 transformed peace into bad peace. Global terrorism is a form of expression of some form of evil, but not its explanation. The first victim of terror, as of war, is truth. The absolute power is in the hand of all justifying lie which is also influencing the absurd "shame of condemnation" of war in itself. That lie also permits the democracies to ignore the reflections on war. What is the role of the people who try to approach the world of violence with reflection? Intellectuals are expected to provide answers; the main function of thinking is bringing up the stories with the aim, according to the writer Terziani, of sharing wisdom and re-establishing the conscious.
