Abstract: | The review article examines the relation of solidarity and cosmopolitanism in contemporary political, philosophical and sociological
debates. In some contexts, solidarity and cosmopolitanism are closely related, in others they are understood to be incompatible.
The main body of the report is divided into three parts displaying a tentative classification of the reviewed literature on
the subject. The first part serves to outline a general account of solidarity, the communal obligations that follow from it,
and its opposition to the moral arguments grounding cosmopolitan obligations. The second part deals with the actual development
and realization of solidarity and cosmopolitanism, as well as the tension between both within the European Union. The third
part considers some arguments for the extension of solidarity relations beyond state or nation towards cosmopolitan affiliations,
obligations and institutions. Finally, a reading of solidarity and cosmopolitanism is offered in which both are compatible
with each other.
