Abstract
The article examines how European integration, in its early stages (1957-1989), participated in a modernizing humanist and statist koiné that, despite the existence of the Cold War and of taking different political forms, extended to both blocks. The contents of this koine are explored, as well as its historical and theoretical origins, according to the enlightening suggestions of the French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, who identified the end of history in the “fusion” between Marx and Ford -not between liberal democracy and capitalism-. What guaranteed peace and welfare to Europe in the period covered by the article was not its integration understood as a network of formal institutions, norms and abstract values, but a common form of governance inspired by a certain political motto, in a realistic utopia formed by the most prized acquisitions of the liberal and Marxist traditions.References
