Can Europe survive after abandoning the national loyalties-and religious traditions-that provided meaning? And what will happen to the US as it goes down a similar path? The French political philosopher Pierre Manent addresses these questions in his meditation on Europe's experiment in maximising individual and social rights. By seeking to escape from the "national form" he argues that the EU has weakened the institutions that made possible liberty and self-government.
