Anti-system globalization and the anthropology of religious and political terrorism
In the article, the author attempts to investigate the anti-systemic nature of the transcultural project of Islamic terrorism, and outlines methodological approaches to the philosophical and anthropological study of the phenomenon of international (transnational) religious and political terrorism. The article highlights and describes the specific features and characteristics of religious and political terrorism. Based on the concept of Erich Fromm, the author substantiates the idea that the causes of the mass spread of the ideology of extremism and terrorism lie in the peculiarities of modern culture and in human nature. Based on L. N. Gumilyov’s theory of ethnogenesis and the term "anti-system", the author of the article introduces the term "anti-system globalization" to denote and at the same time identify the essence of the transcultural project of Islamic terrorism, which is anti-systemic in nature and acts as a transcultural marginality leading to destruction.
