4th Annual Conference
The Vaclav Havel European Dialogues
Prague, May 15, 2017
Where Does Europe Begin and End?
„Reflecting on Europeanism means inquiring what set of values, ideals or principles evokes, or characterises the notion of Europe. And more than that: It also entails, by definition, a critical examination of that set of thoughts, followed soon by the realisation that many European traditions, principles or values may be double-edged, and that some of them – if carried too far and used, or abused, in certain ways – can lead us to hell.“
