“…The Physiologus was the first Christian text to sum up a general understanding of nature using biblical and pagan sources and it has an extensive reception history throughout the medieval period.

“…Ce mouvement de blanchiment des cartes suscite l'organisation d'expéditions scientifiques, contribue à la soif d'aventure et anime le désir de conquête. Toutefois, il faut se garder de simplifier ce moment du comblement en le regardant comme le passage du vide au plein, de l'inconnu au connu ; c'est au contraire un dispositif protéiforme et complexe. …”

“…À l'heure où l'association entre démocratie et État de droit ne semble plus aller de soi, où l'impératif de sécurité est souvent opposé au respect des libertés et où la libre circulation menace parfois les exigences de justice sociale, Justine Lacroix rappelle les liens indissociables entre liberté individuelle et autodétermination collective, insiste sur la nécessité de maintenir le sens des distinctions entre libéralisme et autoritarisme, et s'interroge sur la volonté de l'Union de construire un 'espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice'. La conviction qui anime cet ouvrage est que la pensée politique a un rôle à jouer pour élucider les vocables dont se réclament les Européens, tout en laissant une large part aux conflits d'interprétations qui sont au cœur de toute activité démocratique. …”
