The Greek crisis may be forcing Europe to move towards greater integration, with or without Greece. The German philosopher Jürgen Habermas speaks of a “transformational reality” – a complex word for a simple reality: divided we fall, whereas united, in our own complex manner, we may strive for “greatness” in the best sense.
最后也是最重要的是，欧洲和世界找不到更好的替代方案。希腊危机也许正在迫使欧洲走向更深层次的一体化（只是有没有希腊不得而知）。德国哲学家哈贝马斯曾提出过“转型现实”（transformational reality），这一复杂的称谓是对简单现实的概括：分则亡，合则能以我们自身的复杂方式尽力追求“伟大”。
