With a crisp and clear approach, Lorenzo Girardi proves to his readers the crucial importance and fecundity of phenomenology for a reflection on Europe. Engaging with Husserl and Patočka, Girardi explains convincingly what is at stake philosophically and politically in a turn to Europe's identity and crises.

This book presents a significant and noteworthy contribution to the relatively underexplored field of research, commonly referred to as political phenomenology. Rather than glossing over the subject of Europe as a philosophical and political project, Girardi chooses to tackle it head-on, with the intention of rethinking the European crisis "through to its end", in close dialogue with two of its finest diagnosticians: Husserl and Patočka. The result is an inspiring work that, given its innovative character, will surely find an attentive readership far beyond its disciplinary boundaries.
