Средна Европа в телеологията на нейните граници
Central Europe. Teleological Aspects of Its Borders

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the teleology of changing borders – a major argument in the construction of the cultural identity of the new Central Europe of the 1980s, as it defines Timothy Garton Ash. The teleological point of view demonstrates how the Central European self-reflections on the absence of historical continuity, on the East, or the tragic fate of small nations construct a process of transformation of facts into means. The relation between individual telos and universal telos of the history can be explained not only in terms of heterogeneity.
