Abstract
This article has a double goal. First, it aims to rediscover a little-used sociological system (Max Scheler’s). Second, it aims to propose a thematic analysis of solidary economy (third-sector) actors’ justifications with a specific action regime (also not much discussed). These attempts merge very fast because this retrospective becomes the limits of this very (particular?) regime. It formalizes the search for social bonds in the third-sector engagement. The latter could be understood as a search for philia - in the vocabulary of the regimes of action sociology - or a sympathy search - in the vocabulary of Max Scheler. This search for social bonds appears as a strong opposition to the “capitalist mindset (kapitalistische Geist)”.
