Organic solidarity is the concept used by Emile Durkheim that corresponds to Ferdinand Tönnies's concept of Gesellschaft. While Tönnies's Gemeinschaft refers to community bonds based on personal social interactions, Gesellschaft describes societal bonds based on indirect interactions, mutual interests, and impersonal roles, which Durkheim's concept of organic solidarity similarly describes, focusing on the interdependence in complex societies.
