Georges Dumézil and the Concept of Europe

Summary/Abstract: The ideas proposed by Georges Dumézil could prove useful in the current discussion about Europe, which asks whether European culture is an expression of the unity or the multiplicity of cultures. His theory about three social functions is based on material representing assorted Indo-European cultures, but becomes an expression of the unity and community of the cultural complex that is Europe. Dumézil’s classical work remains interesting even if should be transferred onto a shelf with the belles lettres.
