본 논문은 20세기 초반 오스트리아-헝가리 제국이라는 지성의 중심지 였던 빈(Wien)을 중심으로, 유럽 통합의 정치적 구심점이 된 알치데 데 가 스페리와 현대 언어철학을 정초한 루트비히 비트겐슈타인을 비교 분석한 다. 두 인물은 서로 직접적인 교류나 인용은 없었지만, 당대 오스트리아 지 식사회를 구성하던 기독교적 가치관과 책임윤리의 문화라는 사상적 공통 기반을 공유하고 있었으며, 각각 정치와 철학이라는 상이한 궤도를 통해 유럽 통합에 기여하였다. 데 가스페리는 기독교민주주의에 입각하여 제2 차 세계대전 이후 유럽통합의 정치적 비전을 구현한 정치가로 평가되며, 비트겐슈타인은 언어와 윤리에 대한 철학적 사유를 통해 공동체적 삶의 가능 조건을 규명한 사상가로 자리매김된다. 본 논문은 이들의 사상적 연 계 가능성을 탐색하고, 유럽 통합이라는 역사적 프로젝트가 단지 경제적 논리만이 아닌 인문적 기반을 함께 지니고 있었음을 철학적 차원에서 조 명하고자 한다.
Abstract
This paper explores the intellectual and cultural contexts of early 20th-century Vienna within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, focusing on two influential figures—Alcide De Gasperi and Ludwig Wittgenstein— who, although from different disciplines, shared a formative background and moral vision that would later shape Europe’s political and philosophical trajectory. De Gasperi, a Catholic intellectual from Trentino, was educated in Vienna and developed a political vision based on Christian social ethics, later becoming a leading figure in post-World War II European integration through his leadership in the Italian Christian Democratic Party. Wittgenstein, meanwhile, emerging from Vienna's intellectual aristocracy, contributed foundational ideas in linguistic philosophy and ethics through works like the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Although no direct relationship or mutual reference between the two has been recorded, the paper investigates how both figures were shaped by the Christian ethical atmosphere and responsibility-oriented intellectual climate of Vienna. De Gasperi sought to politically institutionalize a Europe based on peace and human dignity, while Wittgenstein, through a rigorous investigation of language and ethics, revealed the moral conditions of meaningful communal life. Their concurrent presence in Vienna during a time of cultural crisis and philosophical upheaval points to deeper, structural interconnections between political action and philosophical reflection in the evolution of the European idea. This study argues that the European integration process, especially as envisioned by De Gasperi, was rooted not solely in economic necessity, but also in a normative political ideal grounded in Christian humanism. Simultaneously, Wittgenstein’s ethical philosophy, especially his emphasis on silence in the face of the ineffable, can be read as a reflection of the same cultural ethos that informed De Gasperi’s politics. The comparison ultimately reveals that the philosophical justification of postwar European unity rests not only on pragmatic consensus but also on a shared ethical foundation that traces back to the intellectual heritage of early 20th-century Vienna.
