logic of the processes structuring the unfolding of FD in the period from the Industrial Revolution until 1945, or from 1945 to the end of the Cold War in 1989. There is certainly no single categorisation capable of accurately capturing the predominant logic defining the period from 1989 until today: neoliberalism, globalisation, bio-​political governance, modernisation, transnational constitutionalism, and the like only describe part of the story.

conceptualize and experience objects. As a result, a key distinction is drawn between today’s avowedly post-​critical, non-​humanist ontologists on one side, and the critical proto-​humanism that motivates the early Frankfurt School on the other.

–6, but the real political battle over the format of European cooperation only emerged with the outbreak of the cold war.’ 5 Building a union of European peoples based on community institutions with autonomous decision-making powers was not the only solution to Europe’s problems after the Second World War. Both the traditional approach of dismembering Germany and a confederal model, which sought to weave Germany into the fabric of international society through intergovernmental institutions like the interwar League of Nations, had greater historical precedence and

postwar era sought to uncover the complicity of their parents and grandparents in the sufferings and atrocities of totalitarianism. The growing interest in collective remembrance that accompanied the fall of the dictatorships in Spain, Portugal, and Greece in the 1970s and 1980s was given further impetus by the events of 1989 and ‘the resurfacing of suppressed national concerns among subjugated European peoples on both sides of the Iron Curtain,’ which allowed issues of collective memory that had been repressed by the bipolar narrative of the Cold War to re-emerge. 3

Although not a perfect consensus, there does seem to be broad agreement that her scepticism stands opposed
