FILO-3372 Seminario Solidaridad
Given the advance of global capitalism, the breaking of the State’s power, the growth of poverty and inequality, the expansion and generalization of unemployment which condemns millions and millions of people to desperation, among other things, the investigation about Western history’s background and cultural wealth becomes more important, in such a way that it may become possible to renew the collective imaginaries and to retake the tradition surrounding Solidarity, in the search for better worlds and more loveable societies where dignity and welfare for all become realized. The principle of Solidarity is central to the recovery project of Humanistic tradition. The vagueness of the concept and the multiple "layers of meaning" which have been associated to it justify a philosophical study about its origins, transformations in its meaning, and its relationships with political and social organization, even more when Solidarity is frequently invoked to justify actions and decisions in political, juridical and moral discourses.
