The Eranos Foundation is pleased to invite you to an afternoon of studies on the theme “Rethinking Solidarity. The Society of Individuals in the Face of War and Humanitarian Emergencies”, scheduled for Friday, May 6, 2022, from 6pm to 8pm, at the Conference Hall of the Cantonal Library (Palazzo Morettini, Via Cappuccini 12) in Locarno, within the philEXPO22 event and in collaboration with the Research Center “Tiresia. Philosophy and Psychoanalysis” afferent to the Department of Human Sciences of the University of Verona.
What about solidarity in the age of individualism and the crisis of social ties? What are the new forms of solidarity today, how do they assert themselves, and through what channels? But above all, against what forces must they assert themselves? In a society in which responsibility still seems to be valid only when the positioning of the individual on the job market is at stake, therefore a self-referential responsibility, while it has completely disappeared from the radar of the elite (“noblesse n’oblige plus”), questioning ourselves about solidarity means questioning ourselves about our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the planet and its resources. And, before that, on the form that powers take today.
