description The article traces the process that led to the shift of the concept of solidarity from the domain of feelings to political rationality. Going through the genealogy of the term, its polysemy emerges: from the juridical meaning to the sentiment, sense of the bond and the political rationality suggested by Leon Bourgeois. According to Bourgeois, solidarity is based on the reciprocal relationship that all individuals have among themselves, on the intergenerational debt and on the “quasi contract”. The path proposed by Bourgeois can be a starting point for elaborating a possible social and political principle that is alternative to the neoliberal model of governance centred on competition.
