Note 1288 — Chapter III · : THE SOLIDARISTS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
Anti-kissing leagues, inspired not by any puritan motives, but arising solely out of fear of bacilli, have been formed in the United States. One must not be surprised if a league against hand-shaking is established next; although this would be rather a curious result of a doctrine of solidarity that is always represented by the device of two hands clasped in one another!
In Paul Bureau’s book La Crise morale des Temps nouveaux there is a lengthy, lively criticism of solidarism from the moral standpoint.
