The European Mind Volume One
0€50.00Can we speak of a ‘European mind’? If there is one, how far is it identifiable or quantifiable? Which are the sinews in this thread? How, where and to what extent does it figure in time and space?
As the papers selected for publication in these proceedings amply demonstrate, the discussion encompasses disciplines right across the spectrum of scholarship – from archaeology to philosophy, history to governance, the arts and the sciences. Above all, perhaps, it evokes and portrays the spirit of free enquiry, the cutting edges of engagement, dialogue and discourse, the shared heritage of which has perhaps most singularly shaped a European mind and identity in its multiple and changing forms, genres and varieties. Speakers and discussants explored the realms of ethics and freedom, of politics and society, of culture from the humanistic to the cosmopolitan, including technology and communications.

The European Mind Volume Two
0€50.00Hellenism, Romanism, Christendom and other major movements of ideas and beliefs have been seen to fashion and fathom Europe’s mould and memory of itself, raising as many questions as answers, the more so in a post-war, post-colonial and post-modern world. But the growth of nationhood seemed irresistible.
Throughout these academic and intellectual deliberations, a critically recurring theme is Europeanity itself – more profoundly and lastingly than institutions – such stirrings resonating in time have continued ti permit a European self-image and “survivance” to thrive and fruitfully to aspire, groping for better, fairer futures, notwithstanding the devastating wars and persecutions that cruelly interrupt what once seemed like a reassuring enlightened reasoning or a romantic unfolding, even if in the absence of linear progression.
