Abstract
Two events have revived the philosophy of exceptionalism: the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in September 2001 planned by A1 Qaida, a fundamentalist Islamic movement whose identity is not clear, and the sub-sequent response of the 'War on Terror' waged by the US administration of George W. Bush, which culminated in the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Within a short period of time, from 2001 to 2008, a philosophical common sense has become established according to which the war against global terrorism represents the most advanced point in the creation of a 'permanent state of exception'. This state of exception, limited in time and delegated to specific subjects by its legal nature, has thus supposedly been extended indefinitely onto a global scale during the War on Terror and has assumed the form of a sovereign dictatorship.
