Europe in the Age of Globalization

The 20th century was for Europe in many ways an age of catastrophes. Eric Hobsbawn writes (Age of Extremes): The decades from the outbreak of the First World War to the aftermath of the Second, was an Age of Catastrophe for this society. For forty years it stumbled from one calamity to another. There were times when even intelligent conservatives would not take bets on its survival. It was shaken by two world wars ; followed by two waves of global rebellion and revolution, which brought to power a system that claimed to be historically predestined alternative to bourgeois and capitalistic society.. (p. 7). Today we experience the triumph of Capitalism. We hope for an enlightened capitalism. We have seen the breakdown of two totalitarian systems, which have tried, each one in it's specific way, to overrun the European tradition by imposing so-called eternal laws on society: The first one the law of the superior race, the second one the law of superior insight into the development of society. Both totalitarian movements failed because they overlooked a fundamental law of human nature, embodied in the European tradition. This law says that only a pluralistic concept of togetherness can ensure the common good. My thesis is this: All the bitter experiences of European history are in vain, if Europe is henceforward regard as a play-ground for international capitalism, as a mere conglomerate of economic resources, linked to a human potential of a working force, which only follows the directives of ever-enlarging markets. It is not enough to stress the state-influence over the system of social security to preserve the sense of European identity. It is not enough to subsidize certain cultural activities in a protectionistic way so that they won't become victims of the mass-media. It is not enough to bemoan intellectuals in our society. To re-define European identity we must reconsider the history of success and failure. Europe can be a model of enlightened pluralism. This pluralism was not achieved by a laissez-faire attitude or by consumerism. It is not the fruit of long and very often bitter experiences. These experiences teach us how hostilities and adversities can be transformed into modes of cooperation, not by embracing the opponent, but by inventing rules of communication. To consider the way how religious differences can be made fruitful for each others, and to consider the way how European and Anglo-Saxon attitudes of philosophizing can overlap, how different life-forms can enrich each other in daily life. The European model can in that way contribute to a world-society without any imperialistic attitudes, but it can only do this in awareness of it's origin and history.
