Antynomie europejskiej modernizacji. Uwagi na marginesie lektury prac Jürgena Habermasa, Clausa Offe i Wolfganga Streecka
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
European integration is very often conceived as form of linear progress, aimed at ever closer union. In this article I argue that European modernization should be rather conceptualized as a process driven by inner contradictions and producing consequences that are often different from those expected by its main architects. Drawing on recent work of J. Habermas, C. Offe and W. Streeck, I diagnose the current crisis in EU politics as a result of the conflicting logics of political, cultural and economic integration. I believe these antinomies and contradictions force us to rethink once again what we take to be the realistic goal of European politics.
