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. philpapers.org/rec/MAGRSF

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 ... [2/3] blog.apaonline.org/2025/12/02/l...

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. [1/3] Here's that short essay: blog.apaonline.org/2025/12/02/l...

Does socialism require collective ownership of the means of production? Find out @barrymaguire.bsky.social's (joint work w/ @jkandiyali.bsky.social) answer to this question in the next online Visions Speaker Series! Happening Dec 1. You can register here:

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'.

Regrettably, this framing is unsurprising, as @jkandiyali.bsky.social and I have argued in this paper: philpapers.org/rec/KURCAI-2

‘A common theme throughout Bob’s career was…a great energy and infectious enthusiasm: for philosophy, but also for the practice of doing philosophy with others and for building productive yet friendly and collegial communities.’ That was Bob. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Building up the anticipation with a photo of the first copy of the hard back, received today.

Book launch for City of Equals UCL IAS 17th October 5.00pm Avner (on Zoom) and I will be in conversation with Dr Marta Wojciechowski (Department of Political Economy, King’s College) and Professor Peg Rawes (Architecture and Philosophy, The Bartlett, UCL) www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ias-book-l...

Very nice obituary in The Guardian of my teacher and friend Bob Stern, written by another one of his students Josh Forstenzer. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Earlier this year I decided to add a week on Hegel for my 2nd year history of pol phil course. As we edge closer to term, I’m now regretting that decision. If you had 50 mins to teach Hegel (!), what would you include? And what readings would you set?

Honoured to be featured, alongside Volodymyr Yermolenko, Timothy Synder, Margaret Attwood, Jeff McMahan, Aaron James Wendland, Irina Zherebkina et al in this new special issue ed. Aaron Wendland. My piece is Nationalisms: Purification, Privilege, Pride, and Protection ojs.utlib.ee/index.php/sp...

Here's something I originally wrote for a conference on the anniversary of Jerry Cohen's KMTH. @jowolff.bsky.social was there. Basically, Cohen's late reconciliation to the market in WNS is in tension with his argument in KMTH that the ills of capitalism are down to the logic of market competition.

Took some patience, but my co-edited volume 'Debating a Post-work Future' is now available! Begins with a terrific roundtable conversation among four post-work sympathizers: Helen Hester, Kathi Weeks, John Danaher, and myself www.routledge.com/Debating-a-P...

Wonderful festschrift for my teacher and friend Bob Stern yesterday, which included 29(!) papers by his friends and students, and concluded with some excellent Bob Dylan covers x.com/drangiehobbs...

Teaching structural injustice next week and I have a puzzle. Young says that structural injustice renders some vulnerable to domination while putting others in a position to dominate. That’s a bit like benefitting from injustice. But then, why aren’t those who benefit liable?

What’s new is old: After the Wiley-𝘑𝘗𝘗 debacle, the editors & board resigned en masse. Now those editors are founding a new, open-access journal, 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺. I think I speak for the poli phil community in general in saying 𝘗𝘗 is the old 𝘑𝘗𝘗’s true successor. PolTheory #philsky #polisky

As Jesus famously said, “when you Samaritans help wounded strangers, you create a pull-factor. In the long run the moral choice is to pass by on the other side.”

Official publication day of Avner de-Shalit and my City of Equals. Please check your money/sense ratio before ordering, though as it’s also available free, as a legal open access download. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I have a new paper in Politics, Philosophy & Economics. In it I consider I consider a question originally posed by G.A. Cohen, namely what makes communism possible? t.co/of1TlyBZHy

Don’t want to spoil anyone’s Xmas but the Open Access version of my new book with Avner de-Shalit, City of Equals, has gone live a week early. (And if you have any criticisms please keep them to the new year!) fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/...

Great to receive this fantastic new collection on philosophy and media ethics, edited by Carl Fox and Joe Saunders, which includes my co-authored essay with @mitomoti.bsky.social on ‘Class and Inequality: Why the Media Fails the Poor and Why this Matters’.

Paul’s work deserves to be more widely read and discussed than it is. How to Make Opportunity Equal is a terrific book, and I’m sure Anti Racism as Communism will pick up where it left off.

This is a lovely interview with my teacher and friend Bob Stern, covering a wide range of issues, including lots of interesting philosophical reflections and biographical information. www.whatisitliketobeaphilosopher.com#/robert-stern/
