Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problem of solidarity in the thought of John Paul II, who undertook it many times in his teaching. The teaching of John Paul II was in the mainstream of the teaching of his predecessors, but it is placed in the context of modern times and new socio-political issues. It is a signpost in a rapidly changing reality that converted today very rapidly in the civilizational, cultural, and moral sense. The author points out that John Paul II, thanks to a new interpretation of the principle of solidarity, expressed primarily its personalistic interpretation. Pope emphasizes that solidarity – understood as a social concern – can certainly be regarded as an antidote to totalitarianism, because the essence of solidarity lies in the dignity of every human being as a person.
