The Lost Telos of Europe: Filling the Gap between Past and Future

This paper proposes a genealogical reflection on Europe and on its spiritual roots, trying to avoid both a naive Europeanism and an equally naive Euroscepticism. On the basis of Husserl’s and Patočka’s analysis, we see the essence of Europe in a contigent telos, identifying the common origin of phi...
