Opis

This book provides its reader with a fresh perspective on the importance identity has on the functioning of the European Union as exemplified in Jürgen Habermas’ seminal text, ‘The Crisis of the European Union: A Response’. Rather than exploring the causes of the crisis, the contributors examine the current state of European identity to determine the likelihood of implementing Habermas’ suggestions.

Recenzje

"Known for his somewhat dry and juridical appeals to a kind of permanent Kantian Law, Jurgen Habermas – the central intellectual of the EU’s German center – arises here in a very different light.  This timely study reveals instead an urgently popular thinker concerned with simple dignity and fellow-feeling, berating his troubled homeland as a "self-absorbed colossus" as Europe teeters on the brink.  This book gives cosmopolitanism a new life at the very moment of its threatened extinction". - Timothy A. Brennan, University of Minnesota
