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.enfriendshipsocial justicetrustsocial friendshipother-oriented emotionsArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1080/10402659.2022.2079946info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess
