Anthony Pagden (ed.)

The Idea of Europe

From Antiquity to the European Union
Herausgeber: Hamilton, Lee H.; Pagden, Anthony

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the question of what it means, and has meant, to be European, covering the period from Antiquity to the end of the twentieth century. The essays discuss questions of politics, law, religion, culture, literature and affectivity in a broad account of how a distinctive European identity has grown over the centuries and its place in the future evolution of the European Union. In all the literature on European integration, no other book takes such a long historical perspective nor deals directly with the question of identity.
