DUALISM OF THE EUROPEAN UNION: BETWEEN THE IDEA OF EUROPE AND THE IDEOLOGY OF LIBERAL CAPITALISM

Summary/Abstract: The specific position of the European Union is that it, as a social and political organization of the international level, denies its own tradition. In current relations, the EU practically renounces its tradition and starting point in philosophical thought, above all in Enlightenment and transcendental philosophy, where not only the starting point for a future alliance of European states, but, above all, the European identity as the basis of that alliance is founded. In this sense, the European Union is necessarily directed to reconsider its own political starting points and rethink the idea of Europe as the basis of any possibility of establishing European unity. In this context, as a special feature, which is the starting point in every direction of understanding political identity, "European issues" are imposed as social and spiritual problems that cannot be solved in any other way than by looking at the entire context of relations within Europe. At that level of thematizing Europe, the EU appears as a surrogate and in many respects the opposite of the European tradition and the idea of Europe. In the last instance, as the opposite of what Europe is in its spiritual starting point and from which it is only possible to establish the unity of the European identity.
