Avrupa ve Avrupalılık.

Starting with the Hellenic and Christian myths of Europe, this paper investigates the emergence and the development of the Idea of Europe with its multiple meanings and various values that have been assigned to it during its history. Europeanness as an upper-identity and its others, in history and today, within the scope of the European Union, are also analyzed in the text front two different receiving subjects, that is the Europeans and the Turks, which reflects partially overlapping but two different points of view.
