Seit biblischen Zeiten sind Städte wie Sodom und Gomorrha, wie Babel und Jerusalem Städte der Lust und der Sehnsucht, aber auch der Widersätzlichkeit und des Abfalls von Gott. Ihre Ambivalenz macht sie zu Metaphern des Untergangs, aber auch der Verheißung: Was die einen als Kloake schmähten, haben andere als faszinierenden 'big apple' beschrieben. Im Zuge der Eindunkelung unseres zivilisatorischen Hochmuts, nicht zuletzt nach den Erfahrungen der Pandemie, setzt sich die Tendenz fort, Städte als Nicht-Orte, als tote Städte oder Geisterstädte zu imaginieren – oder mit dem Entwurf von 'Smartcities' oder 'Megacities' einen futuristischen Optimismus zu beleben. In den Beiträgen des Bandes geht es nicht so sehr darum, wie Literatur, Film und andere Künste sowie Philosophie und Soziologie auf Wirklichkeit reagieren, sondern umgekehrt auch um die Frage, was zumal Film und Literatur der Wirklichkeit zu geben haben, wie sie Brandsatze in eingefahrenen Deutungs- und Denkmustern zünden und wie sie aus der Erfahrung einer dürftigen Realität heraus Fantasien eines anderen, vielleicht besseren Lebens in anderen Städten zum Leuchten bringen.

The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
