On the eccentric identity of heirs of Rome or how few Europeans have left
Abstract
Taking under consideration Remi Brague’s point of view
in a discussion of the European identity, the author of the article
searches for a new insightful consideration on the problem
of ‘being European’. In the cultural perspective the individual
sense of belonging, creating an identity, depends on both historical
and conscientious mechanisms, thus on the changeable
factors affecting the individualities entangled in a struggle for
‘being European’. Therefore Brague introduced, instead of a ‘stable
idea of Europe’ which European-to-be can relates to, the cultural
form of ‘Roman attitude’ which remains crucial for creating
the ‘European identity’. Actually, to put it bluntly, becoming an
‘heir of Rome’ is indispensable to become ‘European’, to exercise
‘Roman attitude’.
