The number of lives lost on a battlefield is significantly lower now, but is terrorism really any sort of an "improvement"? Is conventional warfare a fairer form of political action? And, finally, can either conventional warfare or terrorism be justified according to some sort of a value system or a scale of measurement?
Any political affiliation will suffice, however anarchist or communist affiliations would be preferred.
If so I wish you could help me with the possibility of linking Feminist IR theories and anarchism.
Anarchism and nationalism: WWI.
The long-term goal of the Western ruling classes in face of the perceived anarchist threat included strengthening the role of the army and of the police forces, further colonial expansion, more control over people’s lives, and, above all, an emphasis on the cultivation of patriotic virtues as a unifying force and as the only acceptable common ideology. The overall strategy increasingly focused on the option of war as a way to save the Western powers from the threat emanating from the lower classes mobilized by revolutionary ideologies. World War I may thus be viewed as part of this wider diversionary strategy to subjugate internal opposition, which included the ideological challenges of anarchism and socialism. With the benefit of hindsight, Italian anarchists later identified World War I as the “tombstone of anarchism.” Through war, many of the state’s ideological opponents were removed from the political scene. The drive to eliminate opponents, however, extended well beyond anarchists, targeting socialists, pacifists, Catholics, democrats and other “internal foes.”
The affects are the active forces which, instead of countering with rationality or intellectual love, allow us to expand our power to exist. A central point in Spinoza is this: our power and our freedom as autonomy, the more they grow, the more develop our vis existendi or vis agendi.
But Spinoza here is problematic. He scandalized by saying that something we do not want because it is good, but it's good because we desire it, and therefore are our wishes, the desires of man as a craving animal that establish what is good. Now, why the passions are evil? Not for a reason of moralistic character, because no longer coincide, such as in the Christian tradition, with sin.
There are passions that drag us down to unhappiness, that force us to remain in a condition of minority, mental and physical, that is, to be dependent on external forces; and passions that instead are able to regenerate and become active forces - favoring reason, for example.
These passions are, for instance, laetitia - or joy, as normally results. But in the passions that become affections the fanciful element never disappears: the passions that become affections are not, in itself, separated from the external causes that produce them.
At this point, I wish to tell a story.
One day, a centipede that lived happily met a toad which asked him jokingly: "Tell me a bit ': which leg do you move first and what next?". And so he put it in such confusion that the centipede was stuck in the ditch, reflecting on what should be the method of walking.
Two and antithetical are the considerations that bloom from this fable. On the one hand, there is the risk of immobility if we are taken by doubts, scruples, from the excesses of verification. Reflection can, in fact, "wrap” on itself and I think we all know people who are rigorously undecided. It is a behavior that leads to inertia and, in some respects, is a risk that emerges in the life of every person. Fought the temptation of toad that blocks the centipede with reflection, on the other hand you have to report the opposite defect, that of the relentless decisiveness, an attitude in very high regard today, to the point of becoming a social and political virtue.
Without 'chaos', says Feyerabend, there 'is no knowledge, there is no progress if we do not leave the narrow path of reason. "Ideas that today form the very basis of science exist only because there were things like prejudice, opinion, passion; because these things opposed to reason; and because they were allowed to operate in their own way. Therefore we must conclude that reason can not and should not dominate everything and often must 'be defeated, or eliminated, in favor of other instances. There is not even a rule that remains valid in all circumstances and there is nothing that you can always make an appeal. Science, then, is not the single point of view that can give a reliable explanation of reality: there are myths, metaphysical dogmas of theology, other conceptions of the world with a solid philosophical and empirical basis- "It is clear that - says Feyerabend - cross-fertilization between science and these conceptions of the world 'unscientific' will need anarchism even more than it needs science.
Having said that, there are researches on the topic of decision making and memory which further highlight the importance of emotion-cognition integration. Integration refers to a combination of parts that work together or form a whole that better achieves a common objective or set of objectives. I recall having said in a previous contribution to RG that results of the research in this area would indicate that affect and cognitions are stored separately in the brain, but that emotion influences cognition and vice versa in selective ways.
For example, when emotional functioning is compromised, social reasoning may be impaired. Damasio and colleagues’ studies of patients with lesions to neural networks supporting emotional functioning show that social decision making is severely compromised in these patients (Damasio, Tranel, & Damasio, 1991). Other researches show that economic decision making is actually enhanced among more emotionally reactive individuals (Seo & Barrett, 2007) and that emotion bolsters both memory accuracy and a subjective sense of recollection.
there has been numerous evidences which categorically accounts the reactionary remarks of anarchism towards the practice of reductionist planning principles in modern era. however such criticism confined to the passive expression for bringing reversal from the utopian project of capitalist planning mechanism. later, the formulation ofpost modern theorieswhich brought a new revelation interms of redefining the conceptual logic of place and space synthesised from neo marxism and radicalism.hence, what role anarchism played in defining the order of life,function and place in city space?
