El resurgimiento de la sociedad civil: fundamentos para una filosofía de la solidaridad

Resumen

The following article aims to reflect on the meeting point of two theoretical discussions on the dichotomy between civil society and the State. There is an important discussion according to which, at present, we are facing a “resurgence of civil society,” characterized by the reaffirmation of the values of self-government, the expansion of subjectivity, com-munitarianism and autonomous organizations of interests and ways of life. The article is written by means of a search and use of theories that allowed a theoretical discussion on the topic and the developed concepts. It follows from what was previously stated that, to-day, solidarity discourse creates trends in economics, politics, and philosophy. These ten-dencies are no longer simple isolated discourses but seem to be dominant and go beyond simple human relationships, seeking the preservation of the environment and the creation of bonds of harmony with other living beings that live with us on this planet. Solidarity, today more than ever, becomes important and it is fundamental to approach it, to study it, to give to the speech that contains it all the necessary diffusion, through the economic, political and philosophical tendencies; but, even more important than its diffusion in this time, it is really essential to understand the reasons why nowadays solidarity has so much transcendence. Therefore, the discussion revolves around the concern that today there is a society seeking to lock itself into its private sphere so as not to be disturbed. The problem arising from there, and for which the Greeks did not suffer, is how to make it possible for thatState to acquire legitimacy and not to atomize, not to be disarticulated.
