THE QUESTION OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
THE QUESTION OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Summary/Abstract: I propose here to present a few thoughts which, I believe, may be considered in the context of the topic of unity and plurality in Europe. I shall begin with a few terminological distinctions associated with the notions of monism and pluralism in philosophy. Monism and unity cannot be regarded as synonymous, while pluralism may have several meanings. Hence, monism and pluralism are wholly opposite categories in the ontological sense, while unity and plurality (or multiplicities in unity) are not metaphysical but rather empirical relations and may legitimately compose a dialectical synthesis of opposition.
