The Challenge of the Concept of Solidarity for Systematic Theological Reflection

Autor članka, polazeći od sve čeće upotrebe pojma solidarnosti u sustavno-teološkoj literaturi, ponajprije analizira neka obilježja ovoga pojma koja smatra važnima za daljne teološko promišljanje, kao što su pravni korijeni pojma, njegova upotreba u kontekstu etike te odnos pojma »bratstva«, kao temeljnog postulata Francuske revolucije i solidarnosti. U drugom se poglavlju osvrće na neke elemente teološkog govora o solidarnosti i to na temelju Svetog pisma i nauka o Trojstvu. U trećem poglavlju autor progovara o teološkim promišljanjima koja govore o solidarnosti. Radi se o promišljanju H. Peukerta, J. B. Metza i T. Pröppera koji su svaki na svoj način, ali i sa nekim zajedničkim odrednicama pokušali vidjeti prostor za govor o solidarnosti unutar teološkog promišljanja polazeći prije svega od traženja mogućeg bezuvjetnog temelja slobodnog i solidarnog djelovanja.Starting primarily with the search for a possible unconditional foundation of a free and solidary action, the author in the context of all more frequent use of the term solidarity in systematic theological literature, firstly, analyses some characteristics of this concept which he considers important for a further theological reflection, for instance, the legal roots of the term, its use in the context of ethics, and the relationship of the term »fellowship« as a fundamental postulate of the French revolution and solidarity. In the second chapter, some elements of theological discourse of solidarity are considered on the basis of the Holy Scriptures and the doctrine of the Trinity. In the third chapter the author debates theological reflection that refers of solidarity. This is done according to the views of H. Peukert, J. B. Metz i T. Pröpper who with some common references but each in his own manner, endeavour to see the opportunity for debate on solidarity in the context of theology
