    “In the context of the general rise of neoliberalism, the self-satisfaction of European elites and their spokespeople goes hand in hand with their contempt for the people. At this level, the absence of a real political divide prevents the emergence of a genuine public sphere in Europe. A clear conscience perpetuates illusions, such as that of autonomy from the United States. Between the reality of a political regime producing more or less uniform effects across its territory and the incomparably greater intensity of the internal life of each of the nations that compose it, Europe seems much like an impossible entity. This book aims to break the chorus of media echoes that the European Union has become today, and to make it an object of genuine political choices. Part of the chapter devoted to France was previously published under the title *La Pensée tiède* (2005), here updated and placed within a broader reflection on the place of old Europe in the new world order.” The author brings together fifteen years of observations and reflections to reconnect with the broken thread of Europe's great political thinkers. Alternating between general perspectives on the continent's organization and national realities, he considers both the question of historical origins and the most current issues – such as expansion towards the East.
