Un fédéraliste pacifiste à outrance: Le jeune Emil Cioran sur la souveraineté nationale et sur le projet confédératif européen
A Pacifist Federalist to the Very End: The Young Emil Cioran on National Sovereignty and on the European Confederative Project

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on an unknown (and, unfortunetly, not commented) Emil Cioran’s conference of 1931 about the federative european project and the principle of sovereingnty of the states. In this texte, thanks to which he obtained his first scholarship in the West (at Geneve), Cioran is an follower of the pacifism, federalism, and universalism; few years after, in Berlin, he became a supporter of the radical nationalism. But even in this case he remained a refocused thinker of the mesianic. Viewed from the perspective of this conference, his radical nationalisme appears as a disappointement, or, at least, a stratagem. Anyway, his diagnoses on the European project remains very actual.
