ideaof the madman, a rebel without a cause, or with a destructive cause,disregards that these struggles are political, they are fought at the level ofnations, and have their roots in the privileged access of States towards theviolent coercion of peoples, inside and outside their borders. The professors of terrorism, the States,find that to understand the causes of terrorism is to justify it. In the same manner of unreflectedness, war isconsidered a natural event in human life. Psychology iscontributing to the complicity and apathy of people towards worldly events inmany ways, particularly in the United States. As an example, we will look into the uses made of Carl Jungs theory ofan archetype a recurrent form of subjectivity in history. In Jungs lens, the world is primarily aworld of natural laws that can be grasped, and history can be interpreted asa history of consciousness, or of the unconscious. Edward Edinger, an American Jungianpsychologist of reputation, wrote a book entitled Archetype of the Apocalipse: Divine Vengeance, Terrorism, and the Endof the World (1999). Following the track of what we term psychologism the reduction of allhistorical-social-cultural-ethnic-religious-economic-political affairs to theprimacy of a human interiority Edingers analysis of terrorism promises onething: to disregard peoples and actions in favor of occult intentions. Regarding terrorism, he says:Terrorismis a manifestation of the psyche. It istime we recognized the psyche as an autonomous factor in world affairs...To dealwith terrorism effectively we must understandit. To recognize thepsyche as an autonomous factor in world affairs means, under this perspective,to disregard peoples, histories, politics, etc. in favor of the primacy of an interiority which, of course, only the expert has access to (and so the rest ofpeople are doomed?). To understand terrorism, through this lensof course, will not mean that we need to address the political causes, but willmean, instead, to address only the psychological level, understood here asuniversal, and thereby aligning itself with aChristian-theological-metaphysical approach. The reason why Edinger and many Jungians think that history is archetypeis because they are embedded in this Christian-theological-metaphysicaltradition, and fail to recognize where they are coming from. When George Bush refers to the Axis of Evil[54],he at least would agree that he is a good Christian. The universalism and the references toterrorism as evil in Edingers Jungian approach could only have come aboutwith Christianity which, since the Roman Empire, has been taming otherreligions and founding a universalist intellectual approach to history andculture which makes the annihilation of histories and cultures easier. In line with the doctrinal philosophy, manyreaders will think now that I speak with no knowledge of the issues because Iam not a Jungian. Well, I did try tobe one but I realized how privileged and alienated is the discourse on thehuman mind, and how terribly ethnocentric and arrogant it is to see fromabove, or behind, etc., history and culture. In anthropology, for example, the universalist approach has for long nowbeen condemned as a certain will to truth[55]and to power, and to the maintenance of the individual, expert, privilege andcomfort; an apathy zone with many terrible consequences. The difference betweenthis psychologistic discourse and the discourse of politicians
