Diversitate si Identitate Culturala in Europa (Apr 2019)
The behavioural norm a European institution
Abstract
The article is a review of several types of European human models for the purpose of identifying a common standard of behaviour, namely, measure, temper, moderation. The European model of behaviour is based on the formative principle of moderation. Measure and moderation have been, in the European space, over the centuries, the defining features of the ideal of man, of the human model of a certain era or of a certain society. Beyond the "shell’s transformations", European behaviour remains true to the founding and formative principle of Christian moderation, measure and morals, while man's aspirations remain almost the same, even if aspects have changed.
