The concept of the universal was born in the lands we now call
Europe, yet it is precisely the universal that is Europe's undoing.
All European politics is caught in a tension: to assert a European
identity is to be open to multiplicity, but this very openness
could dissolve Europe as such. This book reflects on Europe and its
changing boundaries over the span of twenty centuries. A work of
philosophy, it consistently draws on concrete events. From ancient
Greece and Rome, to Christianity, to the Reformation, to the
national revolutions of the twentieth century, what we today call
"Europe" has been a succession of projects in the name of
"ecclesia" or community. Empire, Church, and EU: all have been
constructed in contrast to an Oriental "other." The stakes of
Europe, then, are as much metaphysical as political. Redefining a
series of key concepts such as world, place, transportation, and
the common, this book sheds light on Europe as process by engaging
with the most significant philosophical debates on the subject,
including the work of Marx, Husserl, Heidegger, Patocka, and Nancy.
