Morality as a Cultural System: On Solidarity Civil and Uncivil
Abstract
Solidarity is a central dimension of social order and social conflict, yet it has largely been absent from influential theories of modern society. Most of the big thinkers, classical, modern, and contemporary, have conceived prototypically modern relationships as either vertical or atomized. Modernization is thought to have smashed affectual and moral fellow-feeling: because of commodification and capitalist hierarchy (Marx 1978; 2004), because of bureaucracy and individualistic asceticism (Weber 1947; 2002), because of the growing abstraction and impersonality of the collective consciousness that allows egoism and anomie (Durkheim 1984; 2002). Postmodernity is typically seen as liquefying social ties and intensifying narcissistic individualism (Bauman 2000); or as creating new forms of verticality, for example, the disciplinary cage (Foucault 1977). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

In the citing paper
“Several commentators have noted the ' curious absence ' (Reynolds, 2014) and ' surprising gap ' (Scholz, 2008) of solidarity as a subject of research in sociology (Reynolds, 2014: 1; Alexander, 2014), political science (Stjernø, 2004: 20) or in moral and political philosophy (Bayertz, 1998: 293; Scholz, 2008: 10).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
