Existencialismo, subjetividade e terrorismo: nosso tempo em uma perspectiva existencialista

Abstract

I’m presenting here a model for Political Philosophy inspired by Dostoevsky’s and Kierkegaard’s writings, aiming to show the historical roots of existentialist thinking in the 19th century, inscribed on it’s correct context, which includes its relationships with romanticism, historical materialism and german idealism, mainly Hegel’s philosophy. I’m exploring here two of this philosophical tradition's fundamental concepts, freedom and nihilism, aiming to demonstrate this tradition’s philosophical specificities. Shown here are the relations among literature and the development of Dostoevsky’s political thinking, as well possible interpretations that can be made, based on his ideas, about the contemporary political phenomenon of neonazism, as well as suggestions, also based on the existentialist thinking, of possible interventions. I expose the hypothesis of a method’s hijacking, historically born among european left-leaning political movements, by the followers of what became usual to present as neonazism, as well the ways this method works and the reasons for its survival in the present time.
