Abstract

Contrary to multiple tendencies to diminish solidarity in the context of neo-liberal developments, new forms of solidarity are currently emerging that (partly) transcend traditional boundaries. These can be adequately understood if, firstly, differences and overlaps of concepts such as aid, utopia or solidarism are analysed in a historical perspective. Secondly, in the process of reconstructing the current discourse of solidarity, five conceptual continua are utilised to sharpen the focus on some of its assumptions and limitations. Against this background, the article argues for a praxeological understanding of solidarity. In particular, political practices of solidarity have the potential to criticise existing structures and discourses and to transform society without engaging in mere social romanticism.
