POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: MANIFESTO ON EUROPEAN IDEALISM *

The European challenge lies in the epicenter of a controversial political agenda. Eurocrat believers envision a step by step harmonization of our economic environment toward a homo-ousian system that shall safeguard development and promote the interests of the Union’s citizens. Myriad of programmatic declarations have clearly expressed the ideological substance of a phenomenon, unprecedented in the in the international ball-room of geopolitics.

The tactical intention of the europhiles has been the attainment of such econometrics upon which the European govern space of the ne[w] millennium shall be based. Surprisingly, the methodology used in the background of our elite’s political decision making unveils chaotic scenarios; agents of social criticism and dispair.


The convergence criteria are merely a polymorphic establishment made exclusively by derivatives and parameters of logistic principles that resemble the work of political witchcraft and alchemy. Most certainly, the preparation, necessitated by the need of a successful monetary establishment induces our Union leaders to walk on a capital oriented, “one way” path. It’s side effects are to be seen in the inevitable deprivation from the qualities and cultural archetypes of the ordinary citizen of the Union.


It can be conceived either as a political glide or a strategic mistake; the denial of “Brussels” to evolve the course of the European integration in a scheme that acknowledges the magnitude and the true significance of a social pragmatism which is being merely reflected by an arithmetic symbolism of daily living.


Today, the parameters of the eurosphere can paradoxically create the presupposition of an irrecoverable crack in our attempt to construct a meaningful European Ideal. There are parameters of most influential power – for both politics and economics- that are yet to be explored, not to say discovered. These active elements come from the social physics, of the circumstances and the substances that are being reflected by the measurements of employment, cultural advancement and the spiritual perception of the common European citizen. Having these anthropocentric facts disregarded, any genuine political strategy would soon lead the European Union in a degenerating mode of self-destruction; sadly, even under the most beneficial economic climate.


Technocrats but mostly politicians seem to have undervalued their – assigned by vote- duties against the average working citizen. In epigrammatic terms, the logistic and financial stability must be based upon the non-numerical values of our Republics. That could merely create the proper client where the current functions of our unionized mechanisms would guarantee a long-term prosperity in the European cosmos. We face an epoch, in which, circumstances, events, but mostly its people demand a true and radical reconsideration of the perceptions and goals that define our governmental and multipartizan bodies.


For centuries, the classical South of Europe has provided the insight to analyze the causation for the paraplegic condition of European totalitarianism, as well as the solutions for an orthodox and noble attainment of a realistic vision of Peace and Democracy. The Greco-Roman dynasties managed to establish their political will-power via the enlargement of their commercial and cultural hegemony. The Mediterranean Sea had evolved in a fruitful and unified market for those who carried and spread the culture and civilization of a spiritualistic ideal. It is anopheles to promote any act in emporium or politics without sticking any having one’s fingers on the non-logistic values of the society and the will of its citizens.


The roots of Europeanism could and should enlighten the path of our political leadership. It is high time we believe in the anthropocentric principles that may feed the next generations of the New Europe with political ambrosia; is a so much utopia of world peace and cultural transgression.

Today the fiscal responsibilities give us no room but to surpass the pragmatic needs of the citizen for prosperity beyond the shadow of numbers. The stability of the generic, official mechanisms, the success of the euronote, as well as the enlargement toward the East are of most critical importance. Politics though, seem to have been buried among logistic craftery and materialistic alchemy.

Europe of the next millennium should be the embodiment of a great political dream based on the cultural and spiritual convictions of its immortal citizenship. Its foundations should be build on an absolute convocation of eurology and life.

Socrates had a sound theory. A good form of government should be guided by philosophical truths. The spiritual element can trigger society to produce on a totalitarian capacity. The European Union should stand up-front and face the circumstances of its ultimate political strategy that gave birth to euro.

For years to come, the fundamental ideology of all this should not be a mere circumstantial exploitation of a commonly shared interest. Capital. The least the average European citizen expects is a genuine attempt to bring the citizens of the Union closer, in eras if sustainable peace and genuine democracy. The backbone of such scope must be a guaranteed and healthy monetary system. Currently, there is an absolute need of its establishment and workability. A long-run goal though has to be built upon the will of our society. Otherwise we may build again, once more, nothing but the destructive norms of Babylon.
