The importance of studying social change has even spawned the idea of making social change a philosophical field of study worthy of standing alone [46]. The weakness of the research lies in the inadequate data sources on several indicators.…”

Introduction. Social development is an objective condition for human development. Social development is a condition for each individual in society to develop. The freedom of each individual in society is the basis and driving force for creating each culture, community, and country. Materials and methods. The article uses a comprehensive and specific historical point of view of the materialist dialectical methodology.

Human life activities, which are material production, have made individuals and social people have a dialectical relationship. Individuals and social people can encourage each other to develop together and make society more chaotic and distant. Production relations in society cause inequality and disparity between rich and poor. Research results.

“…Hence, I develop the concept of solidarity from below-the collective ability of otherwise powerless people to organize themselves for radical, wholesale social transformation-specifically as theory of social change (cf. Zheng, 2022). As a particular kind of solidarity understood in Allen's terms, solidarity from below is thus a particular type of normatively legitimate powerwith.…”

Reconceptualizing solidarity as power from below

I propose a new concept of solidarity, which I call “solidarity from below,” that highlights an aspect of solidarity widely recognized in popular uses of the term, but which has hitherto been neglected in the philosophical literature. Solidarity from below is the collective ability of otherwise powerless people to organize themselves for transformative social change. I situate this concept with respect to four distinct but intertwined questions that have motivated extant theorizing about solidarity. I explain what it means to conceptualize solidarity from below as a form of power, rather than as a feeling, disposition, duty, or scheme of social arrangements. Finally, I suggest that the moral-relational aspects of solidarity emerge secondarily from the process of collective power, and not the other way around.
