<![CDATA[This article originates from qualitative research in the field of philosophy using the philosophical hermeneutic method. The author of this article aims to understand the principle of polong renten as the root of the harmonious life of a pluralistic society in North Lombok by using the perspective of solidarity theory from the thoughts of Richard Rorty. The results of the analysis that has been carried out yield an understanding that: 1) The theory of solidarity from Richard Rorty's thought is rooted in the contingency principle in language, individual, and social dimensions. It is this awareness of contingency that forms the establishment of social relations based on conscience in understanding one another, not based on views of absolute truth. 2) The principle of polong renten is the wisdom of the people of North Lombok in accepting the diversity of life. This principle is internalized and applied with an orientation towards a harmonious life even with differences, both ethnic and religious. 3) The application and appreciation of the principle of polong renten show that the people of North Lombok have an awareness of life that is contingent on all differences and changes that are acceptable. Solidarity in the people of North Lombok is based not on a view of truth that is considered absolute, such as religion, ethnicity, or consanguinity, but is based on various vocabularies which always has a process oriented towards living together based on conscience and social sensitivity in maintaining a harmonious life.]]>
