Imagining Europe: Essays on the Past, Present and Future of the
European Union examines the EU from a variety of perspectives. The
collection begins with the expectation that, despite its
challenges, the European Union is here to say, but it also proceeds
from the premise that imaginative thinking is necessary to guide
the 27 member organization into the future. The book offers nine
chapters and a substantive introduction to examine the EU from the
point-of-view of a commercial enterprise, the writings of Jose
Ortega y Gasset, immigration and public opinion, its relationship
with China, its management of political populism, the American
Federalist papers-and more. The first chapter is a summary of the
history, structure and processes of the European Union for the
convenience of those using this text in the classroom. The last
chapter considers this latest chapter of European development, in
light of the historical quest for a united Europe. The contributors
to the volume are scholars residing in the U.S., Poland, France,
Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Turkey.
This rich and varied collection of essays addresses some of the
most fundamental human questions through the lenses of philosophy,
literature, religion, politics, and theology. Peter Augustine
Lawler and Dale McConkey have fashioned an interdisciplinary
consideration of such perennial and enduring issues as the
relationship between nature and history, nature and grace, reason
and revelation, classical philosophy and Christianity, modernity
and postmodernity, repentance and self-limitation, and philosophy
and politics. These tensions are explored through the works of such
eminent thinkers as Aristotle, Augustine, and Tocqueville, but the
contributors engage a wide variety of texts from popular culture,
American literature Flannery O'Connor receives notable attention
and social theory to create a remarkably comprehensive, if far from
harmonious, introduction to political philosphy today."
