Abstract

Was den Kern der europäischen Identität ausmacht, ist freilich mehr der Charakter schmerzlicher Lernprozesse als dessen Ergebnis. Die Erinnerung an den moralischen Abgrund, in den uns der nationalistische Exzess geführt hat, verleiht unserem heutigen Engagement den Stellenwert einer Errungenschaft. (Jürgen Habermas1)
