Lea Ypi and Srećko Horvat

In its early days, the European project was forged as a shared space of democracy and freedom in opposition to totalitarianism and fascism, thus signalling a turning point in the continent’s history. More than sixty years later, is the idea of Europe as a shared project of citizens still valid? The philosopher and writer Lea Ypi, professor of Political Theory, has explored the meanings of the words freedom and citizenship in contemporary Europe. Also a philosopher and writer, Srećko Horvat has pondered the concept of democracy and present-day politics in Europe. In this session, they speak with the expert on European affairs, Xavier Prats-Monné about the political future of Europe.
