Preferred term

teratopolitics  

Definition

  • The term terato, or monster (from Latin monstrum, Greek teras) in its wider meaning evokes the astonishment produced by an irregular and wonderful phenomenon. In this sense, neglecting its significance is not only to ignore one philosophical question among others, but rather to miss one of the main philosophical problems.
