Solidarity
Solidarity as a phenomenon lies like an erratic block in the midst of the moral landscape of our age. Until now, the geologists familiar with this landscape - ethicists and moral theorists - have taken it for granted, have circumnavigated it! in any case, they have been incapable of moving it. In the present volume, scientists from diverse disciplines discuss and examine the concept of solidarity, its history, its scope and its limits.

The essays found in this collection are pretty hit-or-miss. There are some bizarre far-right tangents about individualism, some outdated psychological theory, and some histories that are, quite frankly, boring.
The best essay in the text, by far, is Bayertz' own essay on four uses of solidarity. It is clear, interesting, and oddly compassionate. It is a discussion of solidarity that is inspiring and grounded in realism at the same time--a challenge that much of the literature on solidarity fails to meet.
