“…However, it is possible under the condition that signals encoded in symbols can be understood. For an American, a Russian or a French, national flag and national anthem usually generate deep emotional reaction, while other flags and anthems can symbolize nothing but colorful sheets and more or less agreeable melodies [30]. The same observation applies to perception of other political symbols.…”

In this article we analyse one of the most fascinating paradoxes of mass politics. Based on the data from the studies of neurobiologists, neurologists, social psychology, cognitive and evolution studies we answer the question specified in literature as the Simon's puzzle: How is it possible that citizens have their opinions about politics, if they know so little about it? We began our analysis from the criticism of the economic rationality approach. To do this, we referred to the Allais paradox, cognitive dissonance theory, Ellsberg paradox, the concept of bounded rationality, conjunction fallacy and prospect theory. Next, we described the evolutionary processes shaping the minds of Homo sapiens and characterised cognitive mechanisms, thanks to which people can make political choices, especially in view of the shortage of time and information. The following heuristics are referred to herein: affect, recognition, judgment and imitation.

“…It is worth noting that these functionary elements are legitimized through their ritualistic peculiarity of containing forms of knowledge. For Voigt (1989), myths are essential to life. Their power lies in their ability to create a meaningful past out of an ongoing present for a coming future.…”

This paper examines the philosophy of martyrdom, heroism, and death, with reference to Islam in general and Shiʿism in particular. This paper will be divided into two parts; the first will highlight the etymological and philosophical significance of the Arabic term martyrdom (istishhād) and its interrelation with the notion of testimony (shahāda), allowing for the clarification of the complexity of the existential privation of death and the communality of heroic martyrdom. The second part will move beyond the observation of Qurʾanic canonical sources by traversing traditional Shiʿi references and narratives, allowing for a reflection on the articulation of the ontology of martyrdom, such as its temporal horizon and mortality. Consequently, the state of affairs surrounding the phenomenon of heroic martyrdom embodies testimonies of both love and hate, of belongingness and enmity, and of devotion and hostility. Yet, the identification of such heroism is, in practice, coupled with a tacit sense of a Heideggerian ‘fall’ due to its inseparability from the pull of religious, social, and communal violence and aggression. Thus, in both theory and practice, a phenomenology of heroic martyrdom and death takes into account the ideological and societal contexts of the use of violence and the concrete rituals in its mediation of aggression.

“…dazu auch Voigt 1989). Die Relevanz der »subjektiven Dimension der Politik« für die politikwissenschaftliche Perspektive 11 wird im Rahmen eines Sammelbandes (Voigt 1989) thematisiert. Mythen, Symbole, Metaphern, Rituale und deren Funktionalität für Identitätsstiftung, strategische Verwendung und massenmediale Wirkungszusammenhänge werden diskutiert und Denkbilder des Staates, wie sie von Parteien verwendet werden, in vergleichender Perspektive dargestellt (Opp de Hipt 1989).…”
