Proposes some general ideas concerning the actual state of the political construction of Europe, which finds itself at an impasse. Blinded by the so-called "American model" & the inadmissible fear of a unified Germany, whose strong ambition in Central Europe is worrisome to all, the European leaders focus on enlargement in the East, thereby forgetting their Mediterranean partners. The author proposes the promotion of a European & Mediterranean Council, instead of the Maastricht Europe. Adapted from the source document.

The renewal of political philosophy in France often entails forgetting the discrete yet pioneering work of the thinkers at its origin. The present article seeks to analyze the contribution of one such philosopher, Miguel Abensour. Our hypothesis is that his contribution to French political philosophy can be found in a willingness to think at once a critique of domination & the articulation of a philosophy of emancipation. By analyzing his interpretation of totalitarianism, we shall examine how Abensour's philosophy of emancipation consists most notably of three elements: a counter to Hobbes, a relationship with utopia, & a reading of "untamed" democracy. Adapted from the source document.
