In the passage from 'a separating doctrine of Being' to 'an integrative doctrine of doing' of the first Manifesto, one can isolate two theses in the second Manifesto: with regard to the contemporary world, it's a question of the 'renewal of the communist hypothesis.' This question is inseparable from the theme of the 'true life', which is nothing other than 'life under the sign of the Idea'. Here I will advance the following thesis which will be the main thread of my intervention: the task of the Idea that operates philosophy is to reinforce the materialist orientation of this philosophy. Rado Riha is a Slovene philosopher.

    IN SEARCH OF EUROPE IDEAS OF EUROPE FROM A CENTRAL EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE, 1918-PRESENT Mare van den Eeden A DISSERTATION in History Presented to the Faculties of the Central European University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Budapest, Hungary 2015 Supervisor: Constantin Iordachi CEU eTD Collection Copyright in the text of this dissertation rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection iii Brief Summary In Search of Europe: The Idea of Europe from a Central European Perspective, 1918-present This dissertation focuses on the idea of Europe from a Central European perspective. In a field fixated on Western ideas relegating Central and Eastern Europe to the status of catching-up periphery, it aims to map Central European narratives of and for Europe as a whole. I claim that the peculiar history of Central Europe has led to the specific way of seeing and understanding Europe, its history and its future. During the last quarter of a century this ‘Central European Idealism’, as I call it, has generated important contributions to the debates on pan-European self-perception and the continent’s future trajectory.
