    Probabilistic justice against status defense: inequality, uncertainty, and the future of the welfare state.Rachel Z. Friedman & Torben Iversen - forthcoming - Theory and Society:1-25.
    The postwar welfare state provides social insurance against economic, health, and related risks in an uncertain world. Because everyone can envision themselves to be among the unfortunate, social insurance fuses self-interest and solidarism in a normative principle Friedman (2020) calls probabilistic justice. But there is a competing principle of status defense, where the aim is to erect boundaries between socioeconomic strata and discourage cross-class mobility. We argue that this principle dominates when inequality is high and uncertainty low. The current moment (...)

    Friendship as a Non-Relative Virtue.Rachel Friedman - 2021 - Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy 20 (1).

    ¿El amor por la religión o la religión del amor? Revisando el Ġazal de Ibrāhīm ibn Sahl.Rachel Friedman - 2022 - Al-Qantara 43 (1):e03.
    El poeta andalusí Ibrāhīm ibn Sahl (609/1212-649/1251), que se convirtió del judaísmo al islam, escribió poemas pertenecientes al subgénero de la poesía amorosa conocida como al-ġazal al-ʿuḏrī sobre los amados Moisés, y con menor frecuencia Mahoma. Las investigaciones sobre Ibn Sahl se han centrado, tradicionalmente, en la cuestión acerca de si la conversión histórica al islam fue sincera o si sus poemas sobre Moisés reflejan un anhelo oculto por el judaísmo. Este artículo problematiza esta cuestión, prestando atención a lo que (...)
