A contribution, in this tradition, has been made by Bryan Turner and Chris Rojek, in Society and Culture: Principles of Scarcity and Solidarity. They have contributed to the understanding of solidarity as a sociological concept, but their theme is more concerned with the social order in general than with the idea of solidarity in particular (Turner and Rojek 2001). Michael Hechter’s Principles of Group Solidarity represents a pioneer work in trying to develop a rational 10 See Wildt (1998), Bayertz (1998), and Bayertz (1999), Liedman (1999), and Zoll (2000).
He asserts that solidarity is one of the few concepts of moral thought that can be reconciled with a model of political community based upon the state. The main strength of Brunkhorst’s contribution is his exposition of the precursors of the concept of solidarity in ancient Greek philosophy, in Jewish and Christian belief and in the republican tradition. However, he does not follow the development of the concept in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The labour movement concept of solidarity is only briefly mentioned and the Catholic concept is absent.
He wanted to supplant the concept of charity with the concept of solidarity, arguing that the idea of solidarity would be a more able one in the struggle for a justly organised society. He rejected Hobbes’ and Rousseau’s idea of a social contract, and saw the social contract as a misconceived notion because it presupposed an atomised view of the individual. 3 Leroux conceived solidarity primarily as a relationship. Society was nothing but the relationships between the human beings that constitute a people.
