metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article outlines the main crisis points and trends in the development of the modern nation-
  state. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the phenomenon of terrorism as an
  inevitable product of the Enlightenment project. The coronavirus pandemic has made the problem
  points more relevant, calling into question not only the essence of democracies, but also the irreversibility
  of the processes of globalization. The author suggests following the logic of the argumentation
  of the French philosopher J. Derrida, who preferred to deconstruct the power discourse
  in order to find an answer to the question: how and to what extent is it possible to combat violence
  and terror, the products of modern Western civilization. The article consistently examines the prerequisites
  for understanding death not only as a secret rooted in antiquity and associated with the
  classical paradigm of philosophizing, phenomenology, Heideggerianism and existentialism, but
  also as an economy of mourning for the dead, which is close to psychologism and Freudianism.
  The focus is concentrated on the study of the mechanisms of the sovereign state that help it to
  claim comprehensive possession of the moment of death for a person sentenced to death. Capital
  punishment — an instrument of control on the part of sovereignty — is interpreted as the core of
  the theological and political tradition that determines the orthogenesis of any nation-state. Finally,
  the author considers the concept of the “heart of the other” as a starting point for the fight against
  abuse and for debunking phantasms and illusions that are an integral feature of the modern political
  organism. It is the deconstruction of the death penalty that is the key subject touched upon
  by the author of the article.
