On Europe, Freedom, and History
This article examines Benedetto Croce’s liberalism as a metapolitical response to Italian Fascism, focusing in particular on its relationship with his views on Europe and historical knowledge. Croce’s liberalism, deeply rooted in his historicist philosophy, conceived freedom as a dynamic, ever-evolving process inseparable from historical consciousness. His Europeanism, for its part, was not geopolitical but a cultural and philosophical conviction…
Symposium on The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This symposium consists of two critical reviews of The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism by Eric Storm and John Breuilly, followed by a response to those critiques by the editors of the two volumes
Western Self-Contempt
The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
Europe’s Eighteenth Century and the Quest for the Nation’s Origins
Some years ago, the intellectual historian Bronisław Baczko noted that a crucial feature of eighteenth-century thought was its all-pervasive desire for a “return to origins,” a fixation emerging through a quasi-obsessive quest for the beginning of all sorts of social, political, and religious institutions as well as moral principles. 1 Indeed, Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Discours sur l’origine de l’inégalité (1754), Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enqui…

Visions and Ideas of Europe during the First World War
Given the destruction and suffering caused by more than four years of industrialised warfare and economic hardship, scholars have tended to focus on the nationalism and hatred in the belligerent countries, holding that it led to a fundamental rupture of any sense of European commonality and unity. It is the central aim of this volume to correct this view and to highlight that many observers saw the conflict as a ‘European civil war’, and to discu…
Progress, decline and redemption
The aim of this article is to shed light on the ways in which ideas of and discourses about Europe were influenced by some readings of war and war violence from the 1870s to the 1890s. This aim is pursued by considering the dichotomy progress/decadence, a crucial opposition for grasping images and notions of Europe as well as interpretations of warfare violence. The article focuses on the works of Max Nordau, Friedrich Nietzsche, and the young Pa…
Introduction
Man, seized suddenly by a divine fury foreign to both hatred and anger, goes to the battlefield without knowing what he intends or even what he is doing. How can this dreadful enigma be explained
Narrating Europe
In an essay that was part of a string of works aimed at unravelling the meaning of 'Europe', J.G.A. Pocock emphasised the indeterminacy of its identity as a constituent element of any discourse about Europe.Its resistance and resilience against all attempts to fix its boundaries and to define its past would be the main component of Europe's (self)representations.Viewed from such an angle, European identity might be, at best, the recognition of a …
Anti-Liberal Europe
This collection of essays, edited by Dieter Gosewinkel, is a stimulating contribution to the study of discourses about Europe from the 1920s to the 1970s. Its main aim is to shed light on visions and practices that clash with liberal visions of Europe and with those values that are usually considered to be at the heart of the integration project. Calling attention to the history of the ‘darker’ conceptions of Europe and to the unintended effects …
