Summary/Abstract: Political consciousness is perceived by the Europeans as important and cognitive perception of political life which means the introduction of proper - European Union - standards. The author argues that a key policy of the EU is to create a European identity based on the creation of a European consciousness. The author argues that in modern political science there is no common understanding of the terms "political consciousness of European society” or "European political consciousness”.
