The purpose of this paper is to render explicit and substantiate the virtue of solidarity that underlies Hans-Georg Gadamer’s theory and practice of Philosophical Hermeneutics and is essential to achieve our happiness and create an ethos of mutual responsibility. Although Gadamer has not enunciated or supported this hypothesis, I will show its logical plausibility as well as its theoretical and practical pertinence. To this end, I will show the intimate relations between Hermeneutics and Solidarity as games of fusion of horizons governed by the assumption that we are linguistic beings who aim, from the dawn of humanity, to establish, in one way or another, an ethos of partnership, harmony and mutual cooperation. I will justify this by first explaining senses and meanings of the term Solidarity in Gadamer by calling it a game with rules and purposes peculiar to an ethical virtue of self-restraint and institution of the good. Subsequently, I will elaborate on the links between Hermeneutics and Solidarity based on the topics of language e tradition as exercises of fusion of horizons guided by the institution of an agreement with oneself and with others. Concluding, I will point out some implications for our
