The Return of Grand Theory: Terrorism and the End of Postmodernism

Abstract:
Since Fukuyama announced the end of history in 1992, the grand narrative has made a big come back. Social scientists of the 1950s and 1960s wrote of two impediments to the development of human sciences. First, they questioned the manufacturing of a ‘trans-historical strait-jacket,’ which they associated with Marx, Weber, Comte, and Spencer and second, what they labeled as Grand Theory. More recently Francis Fukuyama has claimed an even more brave theory of “the End of History.” He has argued that the single narrative has taken over the world and hence the social sciences, thus the end of ideology or the grand narrative. One implication of this view is that it is a mistake to assume that the true purpose of social and political philosophy is to generate sound reasons for particular principles or practices. In this paper I have considered the ideology of suicide terrorism as an overarching belief system that accordingly has connected a population in certain societies, regions, and cultures together again. People within a society have found that they share a belief system which ties them together in opposition to an all powerful enemy. Through this grand narrative they have created a large sociopolitical support system that has sustained an increasingly influential movement.
