The erosion of traditional models of social solidarity-driven by accelerated globalization, large-scale migration, and a growing abstract individualism-has rendered a conceptual reappraisal of solidarity in the contemporary world imperative. This article proposes a conceptual framework for rethinking social solidarity by conducting a comparative analysis of two influential contemporary theories: Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition and Richard Rorty’s politics of truth. Through a critical rereading of primary texts, the study demonstrates that a systematic integration of these perspectives yields a synthetic model for reconstructing solidarity across three interrelated levels:‌(1)‌ontological-individual identity-formation through social recognition;‌(2)‌social-the reproduction of a pluralistic public sphere via the redescription of narratives; and‌ (3) sustainable solidarity as the dialectical product of “institutionalized recognition justice” and “discursive inclusion.” Consequently, the paper’s original contribution lies in creatively linking structural and discursive dimensions within a pluralistic context, thereby transforming differences into drivers of societal progress and providing a framework for addressing challenges such as rampant individualism and identity crises. The practical implications of this framework include designing multicultural educational programs and creating inclusive media narratives to strengthen social cohesion
