This book is the result of research collaboration of doctoral students of the Pontifical University of John Paul II and representatives of various disciplines in Polish research centers. They pay tribute to "Solidarity" and look at solidarity from the perspective of the new times in which we live today. They look at it through the prism of new events that provoke penetration into the social dimension of reality, which is solidarity both between individuals and between various human groups.

It is significant in this book that most of its authors connect solidarity with the Christian lifestyle, although it is known that Christianity does not have a monopoly on the only important and universally binding understanding of the solidarity lifestyle, that the example of deep interpersonal solidarity is often given by non-Christians as well. However, it is impossible to question the thesis that it is precisely the personalistic understanding of man, so strongly promoted in the 20th century by thinkers par excellence of Christianity, that has revealed to the greatest extent the great good that we discover in the concept of solidarity and in a solidarity lifestyle, which should never be a life against someone, but always for someone. This publication, published by the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, is a valuable contribution to the discussion on social and ethical values in today's world. Its universal message will surely appeal to a wide audience interested in social and philosophical issues.

Published in 2021, the publication has 340 pages and is 229x162 mm in size. The paperback cover makes it light and handy, ideal for reading on the go or at home. The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, as the publisher, guarantees a high level of content and editorial quality. This book is an excellent source of knowledge for students, scientists and all those seeking a deeper understanding of the idea of solidarity in the context of contemporary social and cultural challenges. We recommend it to everyone who wants to broaden their horizons and look at the world from a new, inspiring perspective.
