Deconstructing Terrorism: A-reason, Paralogism, Preoccupied rationalities, Self-alienation & Pure Consciousness

Abstract

Undoubtedly, terrorism is a macabre global menace which is primarily ideational in nature. While the world is yet to overcome this threat despite having invoked several coercive and deterrent measures so far, ancient India’s moral-cultural traits and rich traditional heritage do offer a genuinely effective solution to overcome this evil. Indeed, this heritage reflects all universal-cosmological features, manifesting love, peace, brotherhood, non-violence etc., and if these are honestly imparted into coming generations throughout the world by including them into the teaching curricula at all levels and also in their entire social behavior, it may lead to true cultural transformation to help-build a terror-free global society into fruition.
