“…It is a "cosmopolitan approach which at its root views individuals, not nation-states, as the primary unit of moral concern"(Cabrera 2004, p. 8).20 Concerning the suspicion of utopian thinking see alsoPensky (2007).21 Habermas agrees with Münkler and Brunkhorst that some vital forms of solidarity are essential for democratic communities.…”

The review article examines the relation of solidarity and cosmopolitanism in contemporary political, philosophical and sociological debates. In some contexts, solidarity and cosmopolitanism are closely related, in others they are understood to be incompatible. The main body of the report is divided into three parts displaying a tentative classification of the reviewed literature on the subject. The first part serves to outline a general account of solidarity, the communal obligations that follow from it, and its opposition to the moral arguments grounding cosmopolitan obligations. The second part deals with the actual development and realization of solidarity and cosmopolitanism, as well as the tension between both within the European Union. The third part considers some arguments for the extension of solidarity relations beyond state or nation towards cosmopolitan affiliations, obligations and institutions. Finally, a reading of solidarity and cosmopolitanism is offered in which both are compatible with each other.

“…Lebensform an und hat doch ein universales Ziel vor Augen, das politisch immer umstritten ist (Gould 2007). Philosophisch spiegelt sich diese Konnotation von Solidarität in den Überlegungen von Iris Marion Young (2011) oder Max Pensky (2007) wider, z. B., wenn Letzterer in einer global gefassten deliberativen Konzeption Solidarität als eine Second-order-Inklusion ausgeschlossener Gruppierungen deutet.…”

“…Most commentators take solidarity to be a relation between members of a community of some kind (Bayertz 1999), but there is scope for considerable debate within that general definition. The literature identifies various senses of solidarity, including political solidarity (Scholz 2007(Scholz , 2008, moral solidarity (Kolers 2016), transnational solidarity (Brunkhorst 2005;Gould 2007), cosmopolitan solidarity (Pensky 2007;Derpmann 2009), social solidarity (Durkheim 1984), expressional and robust solidarity (Taylor 2015), and ironic solidarity (Rorty 1989(Rorty , 1993. I cannot undertake a comprehensive review of all possible definitions here.…”

By implication, it is the absence or failure of solidarity that allows xenophobia to speak louder than reason. If we are to solve the crisis, that is, if we are to respond adequately to the human need that is urgently manifest, we need not just political institutions and agreements about burden sharing, but also more solidarity. 2 Thus, as well as asking what practical actions must be taken, and by whom, we must also ask how we can foster and sustain solidaristic attitudes. One answer is to tell stories, or better, to facilitate the means and the space for refugees to tell their own stories, and to amplify their voices. As Diana T. Meyers (2018, 23) argues, "By dispelling ignorance of or confusion about victims' moral claims, empathy with victims' stories can erode indifference to them." Activists deploy refugees' stories to engage the wider public and garner support for their cause. Mainstream news reports focus on specific stories to illustrate widespread injustices. Scholars use refugees' stories (some fact, some fiction) in academic writing on refugee or migration issues (e.g., Miller 2016). This suggests some consensus around the thought that through the telling of refugees' stories, understanding is enlarged, and empathy is engaged. I do not claim that hearing stories is, on its own, sufficient to generate solidarity, only that it has a valuable role to play. While this role is assumed in everyday practice by media editors, activists, and others, and is invoked by some theorists of solidarity and cosmopolitan norms, 3 it is currently undertheorized. There has been some recent philosophical discussion of the ethics of storytelling (
