Miza unității europene
The Stake of the European Unity
Virgil Măgureanu
Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The European continent is of a unique diversity by comprising all forms of aggregation and structuring of the elements of human life of the whole planet. Its unification was made through a comprehensive historical process in which the citizenships it triggered in the remotest geographic areas and the loyalties born of the common defense of a priceless patrimony have produced an exemplary human and cultural flux at a universal scale. What is called „European culture” is in fact a pluriculture, a fertile mixture of different cultures that provides all the necessary elements for a new civilization.
