Abstract
Since the end of the Second World War, European construction has developed side by side with reiterated attempts to envision and implement European solidarity. This chapter addresses the complex scenario in which European political actors ostensibly dismiss solidarity in three steps. It provides a brief overview of how solidarity has been defined in political philosophy and theory. The chapter specifically focuses on those categorisations that the author think are most useful to understanding what kind of solidarity European solidarity might be. It addresses two challenges that European solidarity is currently facing, and whose overcoming might permit us to think of Europe in more solidaristic terms. The chapter discusses several perspectives stemming from contemporary European philosophy, which the author contends might help redefine the boundaries and potentialities of European solidarity.
