Summary/Abstract: The article presents selected concepts of the integration of the European continent in the interwar period. It describes their nature, features and accompanying political, economic and cultural conditions. Authors and originators of the integration projects followed an idea of the order of things. Th eir suggested solutions, though different from one another in terms of advancement, never entered into life. It seems that the mystery of the order of things which still emanates from the works of people who were creating the concept of unification of the Old Continent in the 1920s and 30s consists mainly in the fact that participation of Europeans in the civilizational development should not have limited their feeling of independence and that it was possible to reach harmony between single individuals. Not only does the general order of things not endanger an individual in any way, but it also constitutes a guarantee of its individual development and uniqueness.
