<p>The following map/guide is the skeletal outline for a Series of Articles (blogs) and an eventual booklet to be published soon. I'll start these on this site and eventually expand them. The map/guide and series is an attempt to take a <em><strong>fearist perspective</strong> </em>on the current rise of terror(ism) and its effects. The map/guide and the title of this blog may catch your attention. You may think of a <em>spectrum</em> of ways to manage terror(ism), as I have utilized for a long time the spectrum of consciousness model of the philosopher Ken Wilber. As well, I have added my own research on fear management systems along that spectrum, of which the current map/guide (below) is an example of how it can be utilized. The title "Map/Guide for the Terrorist Fighter" is left ambiguous with many meanings, depending on how one wants to 'read' this. There is a long philosophical rationale (based on a <em>philosophy of fearism</em> by Fisher & Subba and a resultant identified new <em>fearist perspective</em>) for why any intervention into the "problem of terror(ism)" requires an essential <strong>moral imperative</strong> to serve <strong>both</strong> the "terrorist" (so-called--and, often called <em>freedom fighter</em>, depending on who's perspective does the labeling) <strong>and </strong>serve those harmed by those values, beliefs and actions of the "terrorist"--the former would be called the "victim" of such acts--at least, initially. </p>
<p>You may notice I am being very conscious and particular in how I frame the entire discourse that proceeds around anything we might call "terrorism"-- and it is in this cautious and exploratory modality I and Subba suspect we'll find much better analysis and solutions than what is offered today in what could be called an old-fashioned Modernist perspective (i.e., Victimist, Survivalist, Thrivalist). You can see where I have located the Fearist perspective on the spectrum. Again, there are numerous philosophical arguments and theoretical positions to be taken to articulate all of what you see in this map/guide. But that will have to wait its time to unfold. I am interested to put out this 'new' spectrum approach and let people begin to digest it. I look forward to our further dialogues and explorative co-inquiries on all this. We truly need something much better than what is offered today anywhere--around the world. The philosophy of fearism has great potential to disrupt and re-form our entire way of understanding terrorism--and, of course, the new book <em>Philosophy of Fearism: A First East-West Dialogue </em>(soon to be published) will give lots more background. </p>
