What is Terrorism?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper aims to give an answer to the question What is terrorism? First, I argue that there are three basic notions of terrorism which people employ in common discourses: (i) the most general one, which corresponds to the etymology of the word and which equates terrorism with any advancement of intense fear; (ii) the less general notion, which is linked to the first historical occurrence of the word and which captures both state and individual use of violence in politics; (iii) the most specific notion, namely terrorism in a proper sense. The latter notion I define via defining a terrorist act. My thesis is that there are four individually necessary and jointly sufficient conditions for an act to be appropriately called 'terrorist': (1) it is committed by an individual or a group of individuals privately, i.e. without legitimate political authority of a recognized state; (2) it is directed indiscriminately against non-combatants; (3) the goal of it is to achieve something politicall
