The thinking behind such acts bears the most distinctive mark of delusion: the loss of the understanding of the symbolic nature of human reality, confusing symbols and their referents, and seeing people in terms of what they represent.
此类行为背后的思想具有最鲜明的妄想标志：无法理解人类现实的象征性质、混淆符号及其指代对象、把人看作为某种势力的代表。察尔纳耶夫兄弟发动恐怖袭击恰恰反映了这样的现代非理性，这也是现代化本身的产物。
