It was not only the name of a trade union program but carried the weight of the rich cultural and religious heritage of the people. In the circumstances of Eastern Europe at the time it constituted a mass movement capable of sweeping aside not only the oppressive weight of post-World War II Soviet domination but even the Soviet Union itself. Among the movements of liberation from colonialism and racism, solidarity stands out as the most successful, the most swift and the most electrifying. Because its roots were so deeply cultural and religious, despite its success it raises a series of questions regarding its compatibility with the individualism and pragmatism of the modern West of which we might mention the following three. First, no matter how solidarity is understood: whether as a virtue of character represented by the attitude of the Good Samaritan, or as a feeling which is an attribute of human nature inevitably particular. This means that the precise form and content of the idea is defined on an individual basis by a particular community, which solidarity itself co-creates. Consequently, any claim to the universality of the concept may not be effective. This argument is sometimes supported additionally by another claim stating that the particularism assumed by solidarity inescapably leads to the exclusion of other communities, which are perceived as antagonistic. Secondly, solidarity is criticized predominantly from the viewpoint of contemporary approaches related to liberal culture – usually incorporating such concepts as universality and a belief in the fundamental moral value of a free and responsible individual. In contrast, the collectivism postulated by solidarity attaches primary importance to community interests and values, and is regarded merely as an anachronistic legacy of pre-modern forms of collective identity, the essence of which does not lie on the individual. The individualism and nominalism of contemporary times is thus placed in opposition to “anachronistic” solidarity-based duties and obligations. Thirdly, proposed structures of contemporary social order, which recognize solidarity as the overriding social principle, are often disapproved of. Some claims that the proposal for solidarity to regulate the organization of legal and procedural structures (e.g., of the state) potentially jeopardizes modern community institutions, such as the free market. They emphasize that solidarity, like charity, assumes something voluntary, which is why it cannot be recognized as a common law standard. The present study was co-sponsored by the Institute of Philosophy of Adam Mickiewcz University of Poznań and the Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (RVP) in Washington. Its main aim is to explore the nature and to discuss thoroughly the criticisms and objections voiced regarding the idea of solidarity. The authors also attempt to reflect on 2 George F. McLean solidarity in the globalizing world of today. They analyze solidarity from three perspectives corresponding to (a) its essential nature, foundational principles, and praxis; (b) its ethical and moral implications; and (c) some related concrete socio-political issues its encounters. These three structure the work into three parts. Part I, “Solidarity: Its Nature, Principles and Praxis”, consists of five chapters. Chapter I, “The Principle of Solidarity” by Dariusz Dobrzański, opens the discussion with an archeology of the idea of solidarity, an analysis of the notion itself and its socio-political outreach. Chapter II, “From Freedom to Solidarity” by Tadeusz Buksiński, sets this theme in the context of the modern socio-political dynamics. In the West this encounters liberalism and its focus upon freedom. This engenders tension with individualism and equality. In the East solidarity emerges in the context of both the praxis and the ideology of Marxism and, famously, as its opponent in the 1980s. Chapter III, “Religious Foundations of Solidarity” by John C. Carney, takes up this latter theme to show how it was implemented by John Paul II with the tools of phenomenology in the form of a cognitive praxis. This applied solidarity as a mass liberation movement which in the 1980s emerged swiftly and decisively on the world stage to end the Cold War and free the countries of Eastern Europe. Chapter IV, “The Concept of Solidarity in August Cieszkowski’s Philosophical System” by Andrzej Wawrzynowicz, explores the religious roots of solidarity developed as a Christology. This begins from the terms “Our” in the Lord’s Prayer and expands to provide the universal and unitive vision of solidarity. Chapter V, “On the Foundations of Human Solidarity: Gandhi’s Ideas of Non-Violence and on Christian All-embrancing Love” by Wlodziemierz Wilowski, extends the sense of solidarity to non-violence and explores the metaphysical justification of this in Gandhi’s Hindu thought and in Christian thought; with special concluding reference to the thought of John Paul II. Part II, focuses on the ethical and moral import of solidarity. Here Chapter VI, “Solidarity and the Shape of Moral Space” by Piotr Boltuc, approaches the solidarity in terms of its establishment of moral space as non-homogeneous in its responsibilities but built, rather, in terms of patterns of solidarity. Chapter VII, “The Golden Rule as an Ethos of Global Solidarity: A Philosophical Inquiry” by Josef Bordat, extends the range of solidarity in terms of the Golden Rule with its obligations of justice and benevolence. Solidarity directs us to take account not only of my needs and preferences but those of the other. The paper elaborates the implications for tolerance. Chapter VIII, “Globalization and Recognition” by Jarema Jakubowski, approaches globalization from the Western perspective as a Introduction 3 process of its exteriorization. This is seen as entailing a process of recognition, which he studies and then applies to the global scale, with implication for removing development barriers and assuring world trade. Part III turns to the socio-political order. Here Chapter IX, “Solidarity between Nature and Civilization” by Ryszard Liberkowski, works out an elaborate framework for locating solidarity in relation to both the evolution of nature and that of civilization as a whole. Here he focuses especially on human consciousness and ego formation as generating cultures and eventually civilizations. Chapter X, “Cultural and Conceptual Meaning of Spiritual Identity: A Precondition of Human Solidarity” by Michal Jan Tadeusz Katafiasz, sees the need to separate the spiritual groundings of human identities from the particularities of specific cultures in order to make its proper contribution to unity and solidarity. This raises important issues of the feasibility and desirability of a spiritual force unrelated to the cultures by which people have shaped their identities. Chapter XI, “The Problem of Moral Decline in Post-Soviet Ukraine” by Yaroslav Pasko, illustrates the problem by relating the moral decline of his post-Soviet Ukraine to such a back of cultural specificity by which the spiritual and moral forces of solidarity can be applied.

  • A Forgotten Project for Polish Labour Cooperativism: a Historical-Problematic Introduction to the Works of Jan Wolski
    Praktyka Teoretyczna Numer 1(27)/2018 ISSN 2081-8130 DOI: 10.14746/prt.2018.1.3 www.praktykateoretyczna.pl A FORGOTTEN PROJECT FOR POLISH LABOUR COOPERATIVISM: A HISTORICAL-PROBLEMATIC INTRODUCTION TO THE WORKS OF JAN WOLSKI ADAM DUSZYK Praktyka Teoretyczna 1(27)/2018 The 2008 credit crunch exposed all the shortcomings of the capitalist system. Unemployment, precarisation, growing social inequalities, environmental threats and other issues related to neoliberal policies gave rise to an enormous wave of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction has generated a number of social initiatives and movements ready to tackle these challenges and look for alternative scenarios of the future. In this connection, some questions have returned: is there an alternative to capitalism and state socialism? Are there any systemic social solutions other than what we know that could offer hope for a better future? Many a reader may regard a cooperativisation of wage labour and the elimination of sources of human labour exploitation and brutalisation in private or state mercenary work by introducing a self-government of cooperative labour a mere pipedream. Nevertheless, the idea of labour democracy has been gaining in popularity, since it meets democratic tendencies. People feel bad in hierarchic organisations, are alienated at and outside of work, they regard bureaucracy as anachronistic, are dissatisfied with inflexibility of existing institutions as well as their insufficient openness to innovations. So great hopes are attached to the development of joint participation. Such participation is presently more educational than political. Only direct democracy in the workplace that is designed to help and not interfere can trigger a breakthrough in social relations.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Solidarity and the Fall of Communism
    Solidarity and the Fall of Communism Europejskie Centrum Solidarności Introduction Twenty years have passed since the 4th of June 1989, when the first non- fraudulent elections took place in the People’s Republic of Poland. Those ground-breaking elections were the starting point of the dismantling of the Communist system in Central and Eastern Europe and led to profound social and economic changes. The distinguished personalities of public life, scholars and most importantly, the heroes of those times, now congregate in Warszawa and Gdańsk to evaluate the last 20 years from historical, social and political perspectives. This auspicious assembly is also an opportunity to identify future challenges and find possible answers, using past experiences, of how to approach them. The events of 1989 were of great importance. Not only was it an unarmed fight but also the civic opposition had turned it into a peaceful revolution. Seldom in world history did the revolutions renounce violence bringing radical changes by peaceful means of accord and dialog. Peace and revolution, those usually contrasting words, in 1989 and through the following years described in the most suitable way, the unique changes of those times. The revolution commenced in August 1980. In Central Europe, separated from the rest of the world by the Iron Curtain, workers of the Gdansk Shipyard, paradoxically named after Lenin, supported by students, intellectuals, priests and journalists, utterly opposed the regime. They were followed by ten million Polish people who created a social movement with the symbolic name Solidarnosc. This solidarity led Poland to freedom. The same path was shortly followed by other nations.

  • Three Early Galician-Portuguese Poets: Airas Moniz D’ Asme, Diego Moniz, Osoir’ Anes
    Three Early Galician-Portuguese Poets: Airas Moniz d’ Asme, Diego Moniz, Osoir’ Anes. A Critical Edition Rip Cohen Johns Hopkins University Abstract: This paper presents a critical edition of Airas Moniz d’Asme, Diego Moniz, and Osoir’Anes, the first three named poets in the Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional (Colocci-Brancuti) whose poems have survived. Many of these cantigas have proved quite difficult for textual critics and interpreters. This edition attempts to provide a needed step forward: a fresh reading with critical apparatus, notes, metrical analysis, and English translations. Key words: Galician-Portuguese philology and poetics, cantigas d’amor, textual criticism, metrics, historical grammar.
