Summary/Abstract: The future will tell whether or not the European Union is developing a political philosophy of its own. But the current trend indicates several interesting features struc-turally different, or asymmetric, to the experiences with the evolution of key notions of political philosophy in relation to the past experience with the development of state-hood. The paper gives examples which call for deepened research and provides stimu-lating material for a new and innovative reflection on the process and substance of European integration, this most unique feature of political history in the course of the 20th century.
