The concept of European unity, the animating spirit of the European Union, seems increasingly fragile in the face of far-right populist movements. In \u003ci\u003eLocating Europe\u003c\/i\u003e, Rodolphe Gasch� attempts to answer the question of how to think about Europe. Is it a figure, a concept, or an idea? Is there anything still compelling and urgent about the idea of Europe? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy looking at phenomenologist and postphenomenological thinkers in the second half of the 20th century, Gasch� reveals that Europe is more than just one geographical and cultural entity. The idea of Europe is based on common foundations: a distinctive conception of reason, of self-criticism, of responsibility, freedom, equality, human rights, and democracy, and it is these foundations that are under threat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLocating Europe: A Figure, a Concept, an Idea?\u003c\/i\u003e Gasch� engages the philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Karl Jaspers, Karl L�with, and others, focuses on the most significant philosophical representations of Europe, and explores the potential, and especially the limits, of the notion of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46417907253399,"sku":"9780253054838","price":9223.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780253054838.webp?v=1769069049","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/locating-europe-a-figure-a-concept-an-idea-9780253054838","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
