Re-thinking Solidarity: Solidarity, Equality and Social Justice
There are few terms as ideologically malleable as “equality” and “social justice.” When detached from the understanding of Solidarity, they lose significant meaning and understanding which they have received from the Christian tradition. In this discussion we look at neglected, but essential dimensions of these terms that must be understood in any conversation on the social issues of our day. In this Re-thinking Solidarity series, our guests will interpret these fundamental concepts from a Catholic perspective of solidarity to show how they can positively impact and bring light to dilemmas found in contemporary social policy.
