The meaning of Europe exceeds its territorial limits, and is not
fully ascribable either to the events that characterized its
history or to the institutions that regulated the lives of its
inhabitants. Europe is all this, and yet it represents much more: a
political concept and project, a cultural enterprise, and a system
of power whose legitimacy is currently challenged by a series of
internal and external crises that jeopardize its survival. There is
no single definition that can describe what 'Europe' is, as this
word evokes unity as much as division, solidarity and conflicts,
progress and decadence, and coexistence and colonization. Besides
all this, Europe is also a philosophical idea that, especially
during the twentieth century, has captured the imaginations of many
thinkers. Among these is the father of phenomenology, Edmund
Husserl, as well as some of his followers, such as Merleau-Ponty,
Levinas, and Patocka. The objective of this book is to investigate
how phenomenological philosophy addresses the great complexity of
the idea of Europe. This involves tackling key problems that
pertain not just to phenomenology and its method, but that reflects
the contemporary social and political situation within a European
frame: identity and heritage, democratization and integration, end
and renewal, and Euroscepticism and Eurocentrism. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of the
British Society for Phenomenology.
