Peace in Christendom?

Abstract

Politicians and traditional historians usually find the starting point for their narrative on European integration and identity in classical antiquity.² Postcolonial writers such as Enrique Dussel, however, have denounced the European practice of constructing a direct lineage to the ancient Greeks, identifying it as ‘an ideological construct (…), a conceptual by-product of the Eurocentric “Aryan myth”’.³

Unity seems to be the root of what it is to be good, and plurality the root of what it is to be evil.
