There is often talk of a split in society. But what is the real state of social cohesion, should we be worried or is a certain degree of division part of a living democracy? During the coronavirus period, many people have found that it has become difficult to engage in dialog with one another, with families and circles of friends often being torn apart. The lecture takes these phenomena as a starting point to reflect on social cohesion, to justify it theoretically and to shed light on it empirically. It will also look at the role of civic engagement, ideas of justice and forward-looking social policy.
