It has been widely understood as such, yet its scope and implications far exceed Europe's financial markets. As the crisis deepens, the previously unspeakable - the dissolution of Europe - begins to be whispered. - Now, the contributors to this volume suggest that the contemporary crisis is a manifestation of an older and more fundamental crisis: the crisis of European identity. Centred on the questions of 'What is called Europe?' and 'How should Europe be?', it was diagnosed two decades ago by Jacques Derrida. It is a crisis to which Europe has thus far been unable to respond, yet one to which it must respond if it is to survive. - By revisiting Derrida's diagnosis of the crisis of European identity, the book offers an alternative response to today's crisis.
