Review:
Avital Ronellis University Professor of the Humanities at NYU as well as Jacques Derrida Professor of Philosophy and Media at the European Graduate School in Switzerland.
“In this remarkable study, Jeffrey Champlin shows that the figure of the terrorist puts our hermeneutic, political, and conceptual paradigms to the test, that it is through terror that these paradigms are made and broken at the same time. The careful, ingenious readings in The Making of a Terrorist draw from the canonical texts of the German classical period but also from philosophers both ancient and modern, and from politicians on the left as well as the right. The impressive range of Champlin’s discussion reminds us that the problem of terror is neither an old one that we can consign to the past, nor one that can be engaged without a sense of its complex history.”—Zachary Sng, author of The Rhetoric of Error from Locke to Kleist
