Bin Laden, Obama And The Justice

Reflections on the political rhetoric after the death of Osama bin Laden Osama bin Laden is dead. According to American, he was tracked down and killed by a shot in the head in the early morning of may of 2 by a U.S. special forces unit in the Pakistani Abbottabad. No hole so as yet for Saddam Hussein, rather a large, heavily secured property was therefore the last earthly accommodation of Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world. For the world’s attention remains a shaky photo of an apparently sparsely furnished room with a huge hole in the wall as proof. Ripple can provide more clarity in the matter.

World amazing but as the death of the man whose credo “You are not alive me” was, the way and manner, as US President Barack Obama am death shop commented on. In the style of his predecessor, George W. Bush, he told the world: “Justice has been done”. Reflections on the political rhetoric after the death of Osama bin Laden the German-language media translated this pithy sentence of Obama’s unanimous with “of Justice was satisfied.”. It’s actually only this translation that the presidential obituary on Osama bin store be works worth making. Because the discrepancy between these modes of expression is so obvious how significant: who speaks of the justice, the satisfied, says first of all that exists a fixed standard of Justice, from which originates in the case of a specific call to action.

This request is fulfilled, you have satisfied the justice. The idea of Justice as an absolute value that is us – qua divine command about the mind – accessible or is ultimately behind this phrase.

To understand this, we need to translate quite literally: “Justice has been done”, it is then slightly bumpy and quite in the sense of “Justice has been done”. We see immediately: an absolute, fixed concept of Justice, from which the action- or even instructs is here clearly not implied. Rather, this justice arises only through the Act itself; in this case, by a shot in the head. But it may not be fooled: neither of the two concepts of Justice is without problems. One, because he thinks an absolute knowledge to be able to assume the others, because he admits while norm-setting the acting power. What “justice” now “the real” is, is a question for the theology or the philosophy seminar. Rename the difference should nevertheless, because political rhetoric is not just hot air.
