This essay discusses the idea that trust is a pre-rational, other-oriented emotion and it is constitutive of friendship practices regardless of the type of friendship. In particular, what we call ‘social friendship’ refers to a distinctive set of loose but lasting and cohesive bonds both among citizens within society (horizontal dimension) and between them and the state (vertical dimension), triggering solidarity and altruism. The other-oriented emotion of trust underpinning these social bonds–social friendship–in turn, is necessary for social justice to be supported, legitimized, and furthermore demanded by society.

社会正义、社会友谊和信任作为一种以他者为导向的情感的作用

本文讨论了信任是一种前理性的、以他人为导向的情感，它是友谊实践的组成部分，无论友谊的类型如何。特别是，我们所说的“社会友谊”是指社会内部公民之间（横向维度）以及公民与国家之间（纵向维度）之间一系列松散但持久且有凝聚力的独特纽带，引发团结和利他主义。反过来，支撑这些社会纽带的以他人为导向的信任情感——社会友谊——对于社会正义得到支持、合法化和进一步要求是必要的。
