This paper discusses the philosophical significance of âSeptember 11â by relating it to attempts that have been made throughout the history of philosophy to read particular events as symbols of conceptual change. It draws especially on Susan Neimanâs Evil in Modern Thought and Giovanna Borradoriâs dialogues with Derrida and Habermas, in her Philosophy in a Time of Terror, to relate âSeptember 11â to Kantâs versions of Progress, Providence and Cosmopolitanism.
