Recent financial turmoil and the economic decline of EU-member states have called the European project into question. But the associated search for European identity is older than the European movement and is as old as Europe itself, with the continent having been created more by faith, myth and belonging than by geography or political or economic structures.
This book follows the search for the Soul of Europe. Its authors explore utopian dreams and visions of the European past and future and reflect on historical narratives and mythologies as well as on the emotions of belonging and attachment. Based on the contributions to an international academic conference to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the European thinker and German resistance fighter Adam von Trott, this book shows the vast human and intellectual potential that the project of Europe still contains.
