Synopsis:
A renowned Harvard professor''s brilliant, sweeping, inspiring account of the role of justice in our society--and of the moral dilemmas we face as citizens
"For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport," The Nation''s reviewer of Justice remarked.
In his acclaimed bookbased on his legendary Harvard courseSandel offers a rare education in thinking through the complicated issues and controversies we face in public life today. It has emerged as a most lucid and engaging guide for those who yearn for a more robust and thoughtful public discourse. "In terms we can all understand," wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New York Times, Justice "confronts us with the concepts that lurk . . . beneath our conflicts."
Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, the moral limits of marketsSandel relates the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of the day, and shows how a surer grasp of philosophy can help us make sense of politics, morality, and our own convictions as well.
Justice is lively, thought-provoking, and wisean essential new addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the hard questions of our civic life.
