Fred Dallmayr has done it again! In his new collection of essays, Dallmayr reminds us why he is one of our most insightful political philosophers. Whether his interlocutor is Camus or Dewey, Confucius or Heidegger, Dallmayr always has somethingilluminating tosay. For those who share Dallmayr's belief that political philosophy needs to transcend the usual cultural and disciplinary borders, this volume provides indispensable reading. -- William E. Scheuerman, author of The Realist Case for Global Reform

Dallmayr is a master in his field. What makes his work so valuable in the context of today's discussions is his global perspective. Freedom and Solidarity is a distillate of the worldview of a very decent, widely read, widely travelled, thoughtful human being who has consistently sought to tread paths to peace and equilibrium. -- William L. McBride, author of Philosophical Reflections on the Changes in Eastern Europe

In this tantalizing book, Fred Dallmayer provides an argument for the reconciliation of freedom and solidarity maintaining that the old paradigms that link either freedom and equality or autonomy and individuality fail to reconcile the radical implications of freedom linked to a dynamic understanding of the social. <i>Freedom and Solidarity </i>hints at a new 'axial' constellation whose foundation is truly global, combining resources from both East and West. For those interested in the reconfiguration of modernity, this book is essential. -- David M. Rasmussen, Editor-In-Chief, <i>Philosophy and Social Criticism</i></p>
