The second approach rejects the discourse on values emphasizes the post-Enlightenment emergence of the concept of Europe, and the political and ideological implications in its continuous redefinitions (and re elaborations) during the past two or more centuries. This volume offers new approaches that integrate the long temporal dimension of the values-based approach, albeit devoid of its teleological element, with the “constructivist” interpretation.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 730gContributor: Anthony Molho (Edited by), Diogo Ramada Curto (Edited by)Author: Anthony MolhoGenre: HistoryRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
