Abstract
This article challenges the widespread assumption that terrorist ideology was invented in the mid-nineteenth century by figures such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin. Instead, the article argues, the foundations of terrorism were laid at the end of the eighteenth century by the Enlightenment philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte and his disciples, who in turn exerted a strong influence on later radical thinkers. In showing how the intellectual reverberations of the French Revolution gave rise to anarchist ideology as well as actual acts of terrorism in Germany, the article traces the link between the state terror of the French Revolution and the emergence of insurgent terrorism.
这篇文章挑战了一种普遍的假设,即恐怖主义意识形态是由皮埃尔-约瑟夫·蒲鲁东和米哈伊尔·巴枯宁等人物在19世纪中期发明的。相反,这篇文章认为,恐怖主义的基础是在18世纪末由启蒙运动哲学家约翰·戈特利布·费希特(Johann Gottlieb Fichte)和他的门徒奠定的,他们反过来对后来的激进思想家产生了强烈影响。在展示法国大革命的思想回响如何在德国引发无政府主义意识形态以及实际的恐怖主义行为时,文章追溯了法国大革命的国家恐怖与叛乱恐怖主义的出现之间的联系。
