With the rise of populism, European solidarity risks being eroded by a clash of solidarities based on nation and religion. Ranging from hospitality to hostility, 'refugees welcome' to 'close the borders', asylum seekers from Syria and other war-torn countries test the very ideas upon which the EU was founded: human rights, tolerance and the free movement of people. European solidarity is not only rooted in philosophical ideas of equality and freedom but also in the memory of nationalism, war and violence. The response to refugees seeking asylum into Europe cannot only be resolved by appealing to emotions, moral sentiments and a politics of pity. Disenchantment with government, fear of terrorism and resentment towards foreigners weaken European solidarity at a time when it is needed most.

Remiantis Hannah'os Arendt įvesta viešumo ir privatumo skirtimi, straipsnyje teigiama, jog iš pirmo žvilgsnio elitinę jos demokratiją galima sutaikyti supolitiniais idealais, kuriais remiantis kuriamas polis: tai įvairovė, laisvė ir veiksmas. Toks sutaikymas įmanomas, jei politiškumas yra suprantamas kaip erdvė tarp žmonių, o ne skrupulingai suręsta fizinė erdvė, išstumianti visus privatumo aspektus. Straipsnyje taip pat teigiama, kad socialumo iškilimas žymi ne tik politiškumo kolonializaciją, bet ir demokratinę ekspansiją tų, kurie, kaip ir pati Arendt, anksčiau galėjo būti išstumti iš politinio dalyvavimo bendramepasaulyje.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: Arendt, pasaulis, politika, laisvė, viešumas, privatumas, socialumas.How Common is our Common World? Hannah Arendt and the Rise of the SocialSiobhan Kattago SummaryBased on Hannah Arendt's distinction between the public and the private, the paper argues that it is possible to reconcile her seemingly elite democracy with the political ideals upon which the polis is constructed, namely, plurality, freedom and action. Such reconciliation is possible when the political is understood as the space between people, rather than as a carefully constructed physical space that excludes all aspects of privacy. Likewise, the paper argues that the rise of the social represents not only the colonialization of the political, but also a democratic expansion of those, who like Arendt herself might have been formerly excluded from political participation in our common world.Key words: Arendt, world, politics, freedom, public, private, social.
