Discourses of the New "Hybrid" War: Content and Criticism

Relevance. Representation of the political order in the economic paradigm of the political, dominant in Western political philosophy, necessarily presupposes the construction of the image of the enemy as an "excluded other". The global and universal political order, which becomes valid in the process of globalization, declares fundamentalism and terrorism as the main obstacles to its formation as an enemy – an urgent research task is to analyze the way of representing such an enemy and methods of eliminating / removing it.
The purpose of the article is to study the "paradigmatic case" of the representation of the «enemy» against which a "new", that is, a "hybrid" war is being waged.
Objectives. To interpret the connection between "fundamentalism" and "terrorism", presented as essential, in the economic paradigm of the political. To identify a way of constructing the definitions of "fundamentalism" and "terrorism" in the horizon of the indicated paradigm, to demonstrate that we are talking about constructing aspects of one phenomenon. To prove that knowledge in this case is limited to the construction of intersecting discourses, and cannot be conceptual.
Methodology. Scientific research, the subject of which is a given in the perspective of a paradigm, cannot ask a question about the way of being given (M. Heidegger); thematization of the named issue belongs to the field of philosophical interpretation.
Results. The study establishes that "fundamentalism" is understood as the irreducibility of individual and collective values and "natural communities" that hold the sacred and appeal to the "sanction of the sacred" – to individual interests and their associations: "fundamentalism" is presented as the opposite of «fundamental Western individualism". The article defines that the concept of "new war" is developed in the perspective of the goal: removing obstacles to the global political order. The structure of the concept represents a number of discourses intersecting in the focus of "fundamentalist Islamic terrorism", which is presented as a "paradigmatic case" (M. Hardt, A. Negri) of the enemy of the global political order. It turns out that we are talking about an "internal" and "unrecognized" enemy, which is defined as a criminal; anti-terrorist war is a police operation that does not aim at peace; such a war is declared a just war and is permanent, preventive, total.
Conclusion. The article concludes that the horizon of understanding "fundamentalist Islamic terrorism" as an enemy, revealed by philosophical interpretation and hidden for discourses, is the existential "question of existence" (K. Schmitt).
