<p>Understood historically, culturally, politically, geographically, or philosophically, the idea of Europe and notion of European identity conjure up as much controversy as consensus. The mapping of the relation between ideas of Europe and their philosophical articulation and contestation has never benefitted from clear boundaries, and if it is to retain its relevance to the challenges now facing the world, it must become an evolving conceptual landscape of critical reflection.</p><p>The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Europe provides an outstanding reference work for the exploration of Europe in its manifold conceptions, narratives, institutions, and values. Comprising twenty-seven chapters by a group of international contributors, the <em>Handbook</em> is divided into three parts:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Europe of the philosophers</li> <li>Concepts and controversies</li> <li>Debates and horizons.</li> </ul><p>Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, politics, and European studies, the <i>Handbook </i>will also be of interest to those in related disciplines such as sociology, religion, and European history and history of ideas.</p> <p><b>Introduction</b> Europe: Myths, Mappings, and Meanings <i>Darian Meacham and Nicolas de Warren </i><b>Part 1: Europe of the Philosophers </b>1.
