Explores the universal ideal of reflective solidarity, as distinct from affectional & conventional solidarity. The limitations of the usual understanding of both affectional solidarity, dependent on love/friendship relationships of intimacy, & conventional solidarity, emerging from shared belief/goals among members of a group, are discussed.
