Terrorism


Kant argues that the process of global authority is actually a necessitated part of the progression of man from nature and the "realization of Nature's secret plan to bring forth a perfectly constituted state as the only condition in which the natural capacities of mankind can be developed completely" (Kant 50) supports the notion that terrorism, which develops from man's singular view, is not a beneficial or well supported action. .
             Kant emphasizes the inspirational value of the individual. Kant argues that people should never be treated as means, only as ends. Individual freedom is the central value in Kantian ethics, and in Western society. Freedom is instrumental to all other values. Kant's theory sums up what the moral enterprise is all about.
             Kant's challenge comes from the intrinsic process that man experiences as he moves away from nature and into a public state, based on the fact that man experiences "restless reason, irresistibly driving him on to develop his innate capacities stands between him and that imagined seat of bliss" (Kant 226). Man in society experiences both the tendency and desire to come together as a collective and the constant resistance that threatens to break up the same society. .
             Man has an inclination to live in society, since he feels in this state more like a man, that is he feels able to develop his natural capacities. But he also has a great tendency to live as an individual, to isolate himself, since he also encounters in himself the unsociable characteristics of wanting to direct everything in accordance with his own ideas (Kant 44). .
             As a result, man strives for a social union that develops as an extension of the "moral whole," though the subjectivity of morality is central to defining the directive for terrorism as a necessary means in shaping political change. .
             The other theory is utilitarianism. Developed by the 19th-century British philosophers Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, it sacrifices the individual to the collective.
