Publisher's Synopsis
"The peace of the world cannot be maintained without creative efforts commensurate with the magnitude of the threat," said Robert Schuman in the most famous speech of his life. Schuman's words remain of lasting relevance in today's world: since 24 February 2022 and the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, peace in Europe has been threatened in a way that it has not been for a long time. How much Schuman's peacemaking motivation and ideas can actually be an inspiration for today is shown in this volume, whose contributions from the fields of history, political science and philosophy shed light on the life and politics of the 'Father of Europe' and trace his inspiration for today.
