I’ve always liked this passage too, but also always struck by the implication that we should appreciate people for their beauty, intelligence, ability, etc.
Only Part One though! Part Two has not been rehabilitated, though people are I think generally aware of its contents.
"pupils from prestigious private schools who went to leading universities were 52 times more likely to reach elite positions in society than those who attended any other schools."

Congratulations! It’s an excellent introduction.
Very good.
He passed me by until fairly recently too. But he is very popular with recent cohorts of my Marx and Marxism students.

Socialists should be against wage labour altogether, not just against inegalitarian wages. New paper (forthcoming in Mind) aims to 'rescue' Cohen's failed incentives critique from his egalitarianism, basing it more effectively and authentically on caring solidarity.

Here @jkandiyali.bsky.social and I start with the election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City, and from there talk about justice, alienation, Rawls, Marx, and why we only *partially* agree with Joe Heath ...

The American Philosophical Association @apaphilosophy.bsky.social blog asked Jan Kandiyali @jkandiyali.bsky.social & me to write a short piece that connects with our recent article on the relationship between liberalism & socialism.

I can give you a spoiler. It does :)
I wrote something for @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social on Marx on self-realisation in work, and how the prevailing interpretation - put forward by G.A.Cohen - gets Marx wrong.

Faik Kurtulmus and Gurol Irzik have a terrific paper on this and related themes, if you don’t know it already:

Not a critique as such but I recently read two very good overviews of Raz’s political philosophy: Daniel Viehoff on the morality of freedom on the pea soup blog and David Owens on ‘Raz as a political philosopher’ in modern law review.
I like William Morris too, but the idea of rereading News from Nowhere at the beginning of each year sounds like an unusual form of punishment.
Graphic promoting a new title from Philosophy in Review. The text reads: “New title offering — Disability Through The Lens of Justice by Jessica Begon.” The background is textured green paper, and a yellow circular PIR logo appears next to the heading.
Cover of the book Disability Through the Lens of Justice by Jessica Begon. The cover features an abstract painting of intertwined human figures in dynamic motion, using red, black, and white brushstrokes. The title and author's name appear in a red block at the bottom, with the subtitle “New Topics in Applied Philosophy.” A circular yellow sticker in the lower-right corner shows the letters "PIR" for Philosophy in Review.

It was an absolute pleasure working with @martinoneill.bsky.social on this paper on liberalism and socialism/Rawls and Marx, and I’m delighted to see it in print in @polphiljournal.bsky.social
This may just be me, but in philosophy compliments about the quality of writing, such as something being ‘clear’, ‘well written’ or even worse ‘accessible’, can sometimes seem to carry the implication of lacking depth.
Just published! Jan Kandiyali (@jankandiyali.bsky.social) and I writing, open access in *Political Philosophy*:
"We Cease to be Mere Fragments: Justice, Alienation, Liberalism and Socialism "
Hopefully of interest to both liberals and socialists!

Much as we all detest (other's people's) jargon, if you have a view and want people to talk about it then you have to give it a mellifluous name. A large proportion of the citations to my work pick up on the terms 'corrosive disadvantage', 'fertile functionings' and 'shameful revelation'.
