Summary/Abstract: Solidarity together with civil society, tolerance, democracy, the rule of law, prosperity and peace is one of the principles of the European axiological system. They serve the basic European values constituting the human subject. They are dignity as a fundamental value along with subsidiary values: brotherhood, equality, freedom as well as life and health. The main thesis of the article is the claim that abandoning the implementation of the principle of solidarity in European space will inevitably lead to the reactivation of ideologically hypostasized constructs, which will result in the replacement of dignity by one of the abstractions (state, nation, God etc.), which in a straight line may lead to a situation in which Europeans lived in most of the 20th century.
