Part 3/13:
Kas highlights his engagement with Georgio Igan’s "The Sacrament of Oath"—a work exploring how oaths fuse magic, religion, and language into promises that transcend content. He connects this to the human tendency of creating outsiders, individuals marginalized and targeted by the state—often labeled enemies outside the protection of divine or societal norms.
He draws parallels to modern politics, emphasizing that states continually create these outside groups—terrorists, enemies, dissenters—justifying violence and suppression. This historical perspective informs his critique of current emergencies and authoritarian tendencies rooted in the legal and philosophical foundations of the state.
