LA MODERNITÉ ET LES ETATS POSTCOMMUNISTES
LA MODERNITÉ ET LES ETATS POSTCOMMUNISTES

Summary/Abstract: European identity is strictly related to modernity and its specific approach, rationalism. Becoming part of Europe, the post-communist states must assume this identity and, in doing so, deal with whatever crisis it implies. Following Edmund Husserl’s and Jürgen Habermas’ reflections we will try to explain what the rationality crisis means and what are its causes. Thus, defining modernity by its qualities and its dangers we will be able to draw a picture of the world in which the post-communist states must enter once their socio-political alternative collapsed. Their play in the resolution of the modernity crisis is, in our opinion, of great consequence.
