Fraternity, hospitality, solidarity: crises of all kinds are undermining these ideals. The figure of the neighbor, to whom we owe mutual aid and assistance in the name of our common humanity, is blurred by new barriers: individual selfishness, questioning of family and intergenerational ties, difficulties in "forming society", nationalist withdrawal, the crisis of multilateralism... Everyone prefers his or her "island in the street", to use the expression of American sociologist Martin Sanchez-Jankowski. In the face of this apparent erosion of solidarity, what value does the notion of neighbor still have for us? In the age of globalization, are there concrete ways in which "islands" can come together to form an archipelago? So that my neighbor is not only someone who more or less resembles me, but also someone in whom I recognize the identity of our condition?
