Abstract
Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the views of domestic conservative philosophers of the second half of the 19th century on the essence of terrorism. The purpose of the article is to extrapolate these views onto the current situation in Russia, characterized by the intensification of terrorism and extremism.
Materials and Methods. The material of the article is the writings of Russian conservative authors of the second half of the 19th century, modern scientific research on the problems of domestic conservatism and the formation of Russian self-awareness, liberalism and its connection with nihilism, terrorism; works exploring the essence of terrorism. The author relied on a civilizational approach combined with a dialectical one, on methods: hermeneutic, analytical, synthetic, generalizations, reconstruction of philosophical views, comparative historical.
Results. In the course of the work, the identity of the social factors that determined the surge in terrorism in Russia in the last third of the 19th century and at the present time was established. The deep, timeless ontological and anthropological foundations of terrorism are revealed: the discrediting of being and the devaluation of man due to the secularization of the New Age. The metaphysical, irrational essence of terrorism, established by conservative philosophers, is still relevant today. The typological portraits of representatives of various variations of terrorism identified by conservative authors are also topical; the connection between groundless ultra-liberalism and nihilism and terrorism.
Discussion and Conclusions. The author managed to update the views of Russian conservative thinkers of the second half of the 19th century on the essence of nihilism and terrorism. And today, the measures to counter terrorism identified by these thinkers are of great importance: negative (fight and prevention) and positive (unity and spiritual improvement of society, educating young people in the spirit of traditional values and patriotism).
