Abstract
It seems complicated for contemporary literature in political science to use the concept of solidarity with a normative intention at the state level. If the concept experienced a boom in Europe at the end of the 19th century, it is supplanted today by other terms such as justice or the welfare state. In this article, I explore the following hypothesis: it is difficult to use the concept of solidarity because it conflicts with individual liberty, which is the cause of a specifically liberal caution concerning this concept. Contemporary liberal thinkers would prefer to ignore solidarity as a value because it has several characteristics that cause tension. I will mainly dwell on the binding dimension of solidarity and its relation to the centrality of individual liberty in liberalism.
Résumé
Il semble compliqué pour la littérature contemporaine en science politique d'utiliser le concept de solidarité avec une intention normative au niveau de l'État. Si le concept a connu un essor en Europe à la fin du 19ème siècle, il est aujourd'hui supplanté par d'autres termes tels que la justice ou l'État providence. Dans cet article, j'explore l'hypothèse suivante : il est difficile d'utiliser le concept de solidarité parce qu'il entre en conflit avec la liberté individuelle, ce qui est à l'origine d'une prudence spécifiquement libérale à l'égard de ce concept. Les penseurs libéraux contemporains préféreraient ignorer la solidarité en tant que valeur parce qu'elle présente plusieurs caractéristiques qui provoquent des tensions. Je m'attarderai principalement sur la dimension contraignante de la solidarité et sur sa relation avec la centralité de la liberté individuelle dans le libéralisme.
