- Nationalism &SocialSolidarity.Stephen Patrick McAndrew -2019 -Journal of Ethical Urban Living 2 (1):93-110.There is an increasing turn to nationalism around the world. The advocacy of “America First” policies, the Brexit leave campaign in Britain, and recent elections in Poland and Hungary show evidence of a rise in nationalistic sentiments. One reason given to explain this rise in nationalism is that in an increasingly diverse world stability is not possible without close cultural links between members of society, and that a shared national culture can provide those links. Nationalists argue that a shared national (...) culture is a necessary condition of creatingsocialsolidarity that createssocial stability. However, the nationalist solution to creatingsocialsolidarity can be questioned on a number of counts. First, it relies on a conceptually problematic account of national identity that holds that national identity includes elements like a shared culture, a shared history, and a shared connection to a particular geographic territory. There are reasons to think that this type of account of national identity is closer to an account of ethnicity than an account of national identity. An ethnic nationalism is morally problematic as it contends that one can only havesolidarity with those who share one’s ethnicity, and could be used to justify discrimination against ethnic minorities. Second, even if this is the correct account of national identity, it is not the case that a shared culture, a shared history, and a shared connection to a particular geographic territory are necessary or sufficient conditions forsocialsolidarity. Finally, nationalist attempts to protect the national identity of a liberal democracy by restricting all immigration, may actually destroy the values, such as individual rights and limited government of that liberal democracy.

- SocialSolidarity and the Gift.Aafke E. Komter -2004 - Cambridge University Press.This book brings together two traditions of thinking aboutsocial ties: sociological theory onsolidarity and anthropological theory on gift exchange. The purpose of the book is to explore both how theoretical traditions may complete and enrich each other, and how they may illuminate transformations insolidarity. The main argument, supported by empirical illustrations, is that a theory ofsolidarity should incorporate some of the core insights from anthropological gift theory. The book presents a theoretical model (...) covering both positive and negative - selective and excluding - aspects and consequences ofsolidarity. It is concluded that over the past centurysolidarity has undergone a fundamental transformation, from Durkheim's 'organic'solidarity to a type ofsolidarity which can be called 'segmented': separate, autonomoussocial segments connecting with other segments, no longer out of necessity and mutual dependency but on the basis of individual choice.Solidarity has, thereby, become more noncomittal.

- SocialSolidarity for All? Trade Union Strategies, Labor Market Dualization, and the Welfare State in Italy and South Korea.Soohyun Christine Lee,Timo Fleckenstein &Niccolo Durazzi -2018 -Politics and Society 46 (2):205-233.Challenging the new political-economic “mainstream” that considers trade unions to be “complicit” in labor market dualization, this article’s analysis of union strategies in Italy and South Korea, most-different union movements perceived as unlikely cases for the pursuit of broadersocialsolidarity, shows that in both countries unions have successively moved away from insider-focused strategies and toward “solidarity for all” in the industrial relations arena as well as in theirsocial policy preferences. Furthermore, unions explored new avenues (...) of political agency, often in alliance with civil society organizations. This convergent trend toward asocial model of unionism is ascribed to a response of unions to a “double crisis”: that is, a socioeconomic crisis, which takes the form of a growing periphery of the labor market associated with growingsocial exclusion, and a sociopolitical crisis, which takes the form of an increasing marginalization of the unions from the political process.

- Tolerance – Foundation ofSocialSolidarity in Hồ Chí Minh’s Spirit.Nguyễn Thị Phương Maii -2008 -Proceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 10:295-302.Solidarity is a valuable tradition of Vietnam Communist Party and Vietnamese people and Ho Chi Minh is the personification of the great nationalSolidarity. Ho Chi MinhSolidarity is reflected by tolerant, which is not tight in national matter but also extends to the contemporary world. This is the foundation of nationalSolidarity as well as internationalSolidarity to the liberating, building and developing carier of a country. It is difficult to reach a common point (...) between 54 minority ethnics in all around Vietnam with different culture, custom, religious beliefs. However, Ho Chi Minh, by his thinking and action, he was successful in establishing a great united bloc of all the minority ethnics in Vietnam. It leads to a happy, comfortable and peaceful life. That is the reason why people said that: “In the past, there were few men could be a part of legend when he was still alive, but Ho Chi Minh extremely did it”. (shrink)
- Human Enhancement,SocialSolidarity and the Distribution of Responsibility.John Danaher -2016 -Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 19 (2):359-378.This paper tries to clarify, strengthen and respond to two prominent objections to the development and use of human enhancement technologies. Both objections express concerns about the link between enhancement and the drive for hyperagency. The first derives from the work of Sandel and Hauskeller—and is concerned with the negative impact of hyperagency onsocialsolidarity. In responding to their objection, I argue that althoughsocialsolidarity is valuable, there is a danger in overestimating its value (...) and in neglecting some obvious ways in which the enhancement project can be planned so as to avoid its degradation. The second objection, though common to several writers, has been most directly asserted by Saskia Nagel, and is concerned with the impact of hyperagency on the burden and distribution of responsibility. Though this is an intriguing objection, I argue that not enough has been done to explain why this is morally problematic. I try to correct for this flaw before offering a variety of strategies for dealing with the problems raised. (shrink)
- European Union Citizenship, National Welfare Systems andSocialSolidarity.Koen Lenaerts -2011 -Jurisprudencija: Mokslo darbu žurnalas 18 (2):397-422.The purpose of the present contribution is to explore how the ECJ seeks to respect the principles underpinning national welfare systems, notablysocialsolidarity, whilst ensuring that Member States comply with the substantive law of the European Union, in particular with the Treaty provisions on the fundamental freedoms and EU citizenship. It is submitted that in order to reconcile those two interests the ECJ has taken the view that nationals of the host Member State must show a certain (...) degree of financialsolidarity with the nationals of other Member States who have established a ‘genuine or real link’ with the society of that State. With a view to establishing the existence of such a link, national authorities of the host Member State must engage in a case-by-case assessment of the personal circumstances of the EU citizen claimingsocial benefits. However, Förster is an important exception to the individual application of the ‘genuine or real link’ test. Although Förster does not overrule Bidar as a matter of principle, it exempts the host Member State from examining the personal situation of economically inactive students who apply for maintenance grants or student loans but have not yet completed a five-year period of residence.

- Democracy as Ambitendent Phenomenon: Problems of National andSocialSolidarity.Anton Finko -2023 -Filosofska Dumka (Philosophical Thought) 4:39-55.The article’s intellectual core resides in the examination ofsocial phenomena through the lenses of ambivalence and ambitemptiness. Democracy is conceived through the cultivation of the ideal of nationalsolidarity within the framework of the “indivisible and unified nation” and revolution — values which, according to B. Anderson, individuals do not choose of their own volition. Nevertheless, it functions by virtue of structures that are freely chosen by individuals, specifically political parties and civil society organisations, among which trade (...) unions assume a paramount role in ensuringsocialsolidarity. The author posits that a functioning political democracy, viewed as a historically ambi temptuous phenomenon, necessitates the reanimation of sustained equilibrium between the for ces ofsocial hegemony and counter-hegemony. This revival hinges on transformative shifts in the structure of civil society, particularly reinstatement of pivotalsocial functions to trade unions. The article underscores the phenomenon of unprecedented demonstrativesolidarity exhibited by the Democratic Party of the USA towards the strike movement. The author emphasises that a fully-fledged European liberal democracy was established during its golden age, preceding financial globalisation, as asocial democracy. Within its framework, competitive and pluralist elections were complemented by the possibility of nationwide strikes facilitated by trade unions capable ofsocial mobilisation. Proposing the term “political society” to denote the phenomenon encompassing political parties and movements, the article argues that their viability depends on their connection with civil society structures. It is asserted that neither right-wing nor left-wing populism possesses the capacity to fully neutralise “democratic fatigue”. (shrink)No categories

Monique Deveaux rejects familiar ethical framings of problems of poverty and inequality by arguing that normative thinking about antipoverty remedies needs to engage closely with the aims, insights, and actions of “pro-poor,” poor-ledsocial movements. Defending the idea of a political responsibility forsolidarity, nonpoor (...) outsiders—individuals, institutions, and states—can help to advance a transformative anti-poverty agenda only by supporting the efforts of these movements.

- Ethics:Social Bond andSolidarity.Zeynep Direk -2018 -Eco-Ethica 7:95-106.Thesocial and political problem of immigration forces us to reflect on ethical issues such as the relation of responding and bonding across sharp differences, the role that moral values play in relating to the other, and the possibility ofsolidarity as a way of being responsible for the others with whom we do not have any ready-madesocial bond. I take Levinas's notion of the ethical relation with the other as a primal society from which the (...) third is not excluded, as a starting point for thinking ofsocial bond assolidarity. I argue that it allows for ethicalsocial bond making in situations determined by bio-power; even in situations in which people are depersonalized and deprived of their right to rights, and of their ethical agency. I propose that the bond ofsolidarity with the immigrant can be a model for the ethicalsocial bond. (shrink)No categories
- Groups andSolidarity: Bridging a Gap in ContemporarySocial Philosophy1.Francesco Hakli Camboni -2023 -Rivista di Estetica 82:3-15.Introduction Groups andsolidarity are, separately, widely debated concepts in contemporarysocial philosophy, yet their interplay remains largely unexplored and undertheorized. In fact, when it comes to investigating one of these concepts, more often than not the other is at best vaguely mentioned as a background assumption, and vice versa. To be fair, this poor attention to the connections between groups andsolidarity is not to be addressed tosocial philosophers only, for it is easily rec...

- Solidarity, a principle of sociality: phenomenological-hermeneutical approach in the context of the philosophy of Alfred Schutz and an African culture.Sylvanus Ifeanyichukwu Nnoruka -2007 - Frankfurt am Main: IKO - Verlag für interkulturelle Kommunikation.The context of the work is the analysis of African values. The significance is the avoidance of generalizations. There are cultures in Africa and not just one culture and in each culture, there is a diversity of clans. The analysis of African values ought to have universal relevance, hence the use of phenomenological-hermeneutical method. This is the first analysis of such a value in the Igbo cultural group. It is at the same time a contribution to an important and often (...) neglected aspect of development: human development. The personality of the individual is a fundamental principle.Solidarity, philosophically formulated, can be a norm that regulates people's behavior. The personality of the individual is a fundamental principle. A person is identified with his dignity. This dignity is enriched and thus matures through his openness to others and positive contribution to the development of their personality. In order to show that our principle is not a mere abstract idealization, the second part of the work is a hermeneutical analysis ofsolidarity as found among the Igbo of Nigeria. Sylvanus Ifeanyichukwu Nnoruka is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Onitsha (Nigeria). He has published Personal Identity: a Philosophical Survey as well as other books and articles. (shrink)

- Solidarity: Its Levels of Operation, Relationship to Justice, andSocial Causes.Wojciech Załuski -2015 -Diametros 43:96-102.The paper provides an analysis of the relationship between the concepts of justice andsolidarity. The point of departure of the analysis is Ruud ter Meulen’s claim that these concepts are different but mutually complementary, i.e. are two sides of the same coin. In the paper two alternative accounts of the relationship are proposed. According to the first one,solidarity can be defined in terms of justice, i.e. is a special variety of liberal justice, viz.social liberal (...) justice, which, apart from the value of liberty, also stresses the importance of the value of equality. An example of such a theory is Rawls’s theory of justice, within which the value of equality is ‘encoded’ in the principle of fair equality of opportunity and in the difference principle. According to the second account,solidarity is an expression of a special type ofsocial relationships – the so-called ‘thick relationships’, which are non-superficial, positive, their paradigmatic examples being family and friendship; in other words, the rules ofsolidarity are rules that are built into ‘thick relationships’. On the first account, justice andsolidarity are not different, while on the second account they are different but mutually exclusive rather than mutually complementary. In the last part of the paper some remarks on thesocial causes ofsolidarity are made. (shrink)
- Solidarity andSocial Moral Rules.Adam Cureton -2012 -Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 15 (5):691-706.The value ofsolidarity, which is exemplified in noble groups like the Civil Rights Movement along with more mundane teams, families and marriages, is distinctive in part because people are insolidarity over, for or with regard to something, such as common sympathies, interests, values, etc. I use this special feature ofsolidarity to resolve a longstanding puzzle about enactedsocial moral rules, which is, aren’t these things just heuristics, rules of thumb or means of coordination (...) that we ‘fetishize’ or ‘worship’ if we stubbornly insist on sticking to them when we can do more good by breaking them? I argue that when we are in a certain kind ofsolidarity with others, united bysocial moral rules that we have established among ourselves, the rules we have developed and maintain are a constitutive part of our solidary relationships with one another; and it is part of being in this sort ofsolidarity with our comrades that we are presumptively required to follow thesocial moral rules that join us together. Those in the Polish Revolution, for example, were bound by informally enforced rules about publicity, free speech and the use of violence, so following their own rules became a way of standing in a valuable sort ofsolidarity with one another. I explain why we can have non-instrumental reasons to follow thesocial moral rules that exist in our own society, improve our rules and even sometimes to break the otherwise good rules that help to unite us.

It deals with the issue ofsolidarity, a form of recognition that has no adequate parallel beyond nation state borders and manifests itself mainly in the transnational economy. We focus on the articulation of the extraterritorial recognition ofsocial rights-holders at the international and transnational levels of justice. It is clear that conditions in developing countries do not allow the people there to (...) express disapproval in ways that are typical for Western societies. We stress that states should strengthen their influence in global and transnational organizations and equally that the media should improve its informative role and should provide information on what is happening in developing parts of the world.

In rival meanings, the concept has been used in four main contexts: first, in the context of explaining or understanding the nature ofsocial cohesion,

It does this by proposing a theory ofsolidarity associal involvement that is construed through the integration of three better known conceptions ofsolidarity that have played an influential role in the political thought of the last two centuries. The paper begins by explaining whysolidarity should receive more sustained attention from political theorists with an interest in democracy, and proceeds by presenting two indispensability (...) arguments. Section three outlines the three rival conceptions ofsolidarity and contends that whilst individually incomplete, each provides an important insight, so that a fuller and more satisfying conception ofsolidarity can be developed by weaving together some features of these three conceptions. This task is undertaken in section four, which introduces the theory ofsolidarity associal involvement, definingsolidarity in terms of acting-for and acting-with. Section five briefly discusses some of its potential implications for democratic theory, before bringing the article to a close. (shrink)No categories

- Pragmatism, RacialSolidarity, and NegotiatingSocial Practices: Evading the Problem of “Problem Solving” Talk.Kevin Wolfe -2017 -Critical Philosophy of Race 5 (1):114-130.In his review of Eddie Glaude's Exodus! “Politics, RacialSolidarity, Exodus!” Robert Gooding-Williams argues that, despite sympathizing with Glaude's conception of racialsolidarity, he finds that “Glaude's approach to racialsolidarity is not pragmatic enough, precisely because the myth of the essential black subject still haunts it, its claims to the contrary notwithstanding.” This article challenges Gooding-Williams's reading of Exodus!, demonstrating that despite his grasp of Glaude's conceptual map, he misses precisely what is at stake for Glaude's (...) pragmatic notion of racialsolidarity. Understanding what is at stake for Glaude's conception of racialsolidarity, one sees how the subtlety of his pragmatism actually resists any lingering essentialism. However, this article concludes by showing that despite Glaude's evasion of Gooding-Williams's charge, it is his emphasis on the Deweyan language of “problem solving” that courts the criticism in the first place. To circumvent the potential for misunderstanding, this article emphasizes a “negotiation ofsocial practices” as an alternative to Glaude's emphasis on the language of “problem solving activity.”.

- Solidarity, Exemplariness, And Bildung: Max Scheler’sSocial Phenomenology in the Debate on Europeanism.Alessio Ruggiero -2023 -Phenomenology and Mind 25 (25):76.Recently there has been a spate of interest in Max Scheler’ssocial phenomenology (Schloßberger, 2016; Szanto & Moran, 2016; Cusinato, 2018). In this paper I aim to show that his philosophical contribution on Europe and Europeanism has its focal point on the concepts of rebuilding (Wiederaufbau) and rebirth (Wiedergeburt). My idea is that, for Scheler, the essential condition of any attitude towards socio-cultural change (Umkehr) have its center in the idea of the formation and the development of the personal (...) singularity (Personbildung) (Scheler, 2009a; Scheler, 2010a; Scheler, 2013). And this means the growth and the expression, in a solidaristic perspective, of one’s own ethical singularity (An-sich-Gutes für mich) and of one’s own vocations. The idea ofsolidarity declined in terms of Bildung is therefore strictly interdependent on the testimony coming from Otherness-exemplar (Vorbild) (Scheler, 2009f). (shrink)

- Multiple motives of pro-social behavior: evidence from thesolidarity game. [REVIEW]Friedel Bolle,Yves Breitmoser,Jana Heimel &Claudia Vogel -2012 -Theory and Decision 72 (3):303-321.The article analyses experimental “solidarity games” with two benefactors and one beneficiary. Depending on their motive for giving—e.g., warm glow, altruism, or guilt—the benefactors’ response functions are either constant, decreasing, or increasing. If motives interact, or if envy is a concern, then more complex (unimodal) shapes may emerge. Controlling for random utility perturbations, we determine which and how many motives affect individual decision making. The main findings are that the motives of about 75% of the subjects can be identified (...) fairly sharply, that all of the motives discussed in the literature co-exist in the population, and that for any given individual no more than two motives (out of six motives considered overall) are identified. We conclude that a unifying motive forsolidarity cannot be derived even when we allow for individually heterogeneous parameterization: different subjects give for different reasons and all existingsocial preference theories are partially correct.

- Solidarity andSocial Cohesion in Late Modernity: A Question of Recognition, Justice and Judgement in Situation.Søren Juul -2010 -European Journal of Social Theory 13 (2):253-269.The aim of this article is to contribute to the formulation of a non-excluding concept ofsolidarity which is of relevance to contemporary society. The assumption is that in the present individualized and culturally diverse society there is an urgent need for a new form ofsolidarity to createsocial cohesion. The central theme is that contemporarysolidarity is about recognition and a fair distribution of chances for recognition. This ideal may function as a normative standard (...) for critical research and as a guideline for people in their moral struggles. What ultimately needs to be done is not a purely theoretical question but something which must be settled by a judgement that constitutes a battlefield where conflicting values and perceptions of reality confront each other.
