I myself also have a paradoxical feeling about solidarity. And that feeling is very strong within me. It is one of the most beautiful experiences I know being able to stand in solidarity with other people. At the same time, I also know that, in many respects, it has become a kind of fiction in our society.
The once‑revolutionary concept of solidarity has turned into an empty moral cliché. How can we live together in a time of distance? What can we learn from the Inuit when it comes to solidarity? In his book Solidariteit. Een kleine filosofie, philosopher René ten Bos explores what solidarity still means in an era in which we no longer feel connected to one another at all.
