Abstract
U ovom se radu istražuje Habermasova politička filozofija osobnog i kolektivnog identiteta i uloge ustava u izgrađivanju postnacionalne konstelacije u njegovim političkim spisima. Razmatraju se Habermasovi stavovi o europskom identitetu i koji bi ulogu mogao imati europski ustavotvorni proces u njegovu formiranju, te odgovori na no-demos tezu kroz njegov koncept ustavnog patriotizma. Autor smatra kako su ustavni patriotizam i proceduralizam u Habermasovim političkim i pravnim razmatranjima realističniji dio njegova diskursa, ali da još uvijek imaju nedostataka u odnosu na pokušaj \u27pronalaženja’ izvora ustavotvorne vlasti u Europskoj uniji, dok njegova potraga za europskim identitetom kao pretpolitičkim gledištem kroz model europskih političkih sfera još uvijek ostaje dijelom idealističke vizije.This paper explores Habermas’s political philosophy of personal and collective identity and the role of constitution in building a post-national constellation in his political writings. Habermas’s stances on European identity and the role that the European constitution-making process could have on the formation of aforementioned identity are reviewed, with responses to the no-demos thesis through his concept of constitutional patriotism. Author argues that constitutional patriotism and proceduralism in his political and legalistic observations seems to be the more realistic part of his discourse, while his search for European identity as pre-political viewpoint through the model of European political spheres still remains part of the idealistic vision
