Europe: A Philosophical History
Beyond Modernity
Europe is inseparable from its history. That history has been extensively studied in terms of its political history, its economic history, its religious history, its literary and cultural history, and so on. Could there be a distinctively philosophical history of Europe? Not a history of philosophy in Europe, but a history of Europe that focuses on what, in its history and identity, ties it to philosophy.
In this event, Simon Glendinning will discuss his latest publication, 'Europe: A Philosophical History – Beyond Modernity', exploring Europe’s history as a philosophical history.
Hosted by the LSE European Institute.
