Fenomen integracji i Unii Europejskiej. Rozważania z pogranicza fi lozofi i i literatury

This article entirely concerns the philosophical determinants of political change in the European Union with a systemic character. In it, the author decided to scientifi cally identify and analyze selected concepts and sequences of thought in the field of political philosophy – mainly of neoidealistic character – helpful in explaining and understanding the processes of deconstructing political thought relating to European integration. It was important for the author to create an ideal conceptual framework for preparing empirical anti-crisis strategies, forecasts and scenarios of changes in the European Union. This scheme is particularly important in the context of the Kantian methodological architecture of pure reason. The basis here is the process of cognitive cognition from the arranged concepts – forming one compact analytical system. It is worth noting that the process of distinguishing determinants (concepts) related to the political philosophy of the European Union must take place while maintaining methodological mindfulness – both qualitative and quantitative. In view of the above, the next analytical assumption for this text is based on the author’s conviction that the change having the character of transformation (regulation and transformation) should be made mainly under the influence of philosophical theories, ideas and visions, and not the ever-changing and reactive political actions of the actors / entities participating in the European integration process.
