Version courte : L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de transmettre des repères conceptuels, éthiques et cliniques en psychopathologie et criminologie psychanalytique pour analyser le regain contemporain des fanatismes religieux, idéologiques ou politiques ainsi que les passages à l'acte meurtriers qui peuvent en dériver. Version longue : Cet ouvrage collectif de psychopathologie clinique et criminologie psychanalytique, ouvert aux autres disciplines (Histoire, Droit, Psychiatrie), analyse la radicalisation de la croyance et de l'idéal à partir de laquelle les fanatismes religieux, idéologiques, politiques se développent dans notre modernité. En laissant une large place à la présentation clinique de cas, il questionne l'adhésion subjective à des discours sociaux radicalisés et précise la logique des passages à l'acte meurtriers qui peuvent en découler, leurs causalité et fonctions subjectives. Il porte aussi sur la clinique de la radicalisation ainsi que sur ses modes de prévention et de traitement en institutions. Il s'attache enfin à cerner les motifs pour lesquels le lien social contemporain est devenu un terreau fertile à l'essor de la radicalité, à la haine et au sacrifice.

Whether by choice or not, the West finds itself in a low-grade yet bitter war with Islamic fanaticism. It is a war the West is singularly ill equipped to fight. The foe is resistant to any of the normal methods of conflict resolution such as negotiation, economic sanctions, or conventional armed confrontation. 'The Suicide of Reason' shows how modern liberal societies, whose political theories are born of the Enlightenment, are unfamiliar with the nature o mass fanaticism. The West can only think of fanaticism as a social pathology, a failure to modernize, rather than as what it is: a variety of social order that is not only fully viable in the modern world but also willing to use weapons to which the West is uniquely vulnerable. A governing philosophy based on reason, tolerance, and consensus cannot defend itself against a strategy of ruthless violence without being radically transformed-or destroyed. Extraordinarily original and thought-provoking, 'The Suicide of Reason' explains the logic of fanatical movements from the Crusades through Nazism to radical Islam; describes how the Enlightenment overcame fanatical thinking in the West; shows why most Western attempts to address the problem are doomed to fail; and offers strategies by which liberal internationalism can defend itself without becoming a mirror of the tribal forces it is trying to defeat.
