Zusammenfassung:Contributors to The Problem of Solidarity take a step back from the evident turmoil in the world to pose solidarity as a cognitive problem of basic science. What is solidarity? How is it produced and reproduced? How is it related to social processes? How can we formalize such processes and create conditions for studying their properties fruitfully?
