ABSTRACT
Rorty's idea of human solidarity is an important part of his utopian vision. Solidarity is a component of moral progress and social progress, a value goal pursued by humanity, and a powerful force to overcome difficulties. The realization of solidarity does not lie in a leaning toward a certain metaphysical standard, it lies in moral progress and social progress, i.e. the hope of society. Moral progress is indeed a movement towards greater human solidarity. The" moral brass law" of global ethical principles adds rational factors and realization paths to moral progress.
