Michael J. Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University, where he has taught since 1980. He has taught his undergraduate course “Justice” to more than 15,000 Harvard students over the years, and video footage of the course was adapted into a PBS television series. Sandel graduated summa cum laude from Brandeis University and received his doctorate from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He served on the George W. Bush administration's President's Council on Bioethics. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.
What are our obligations to others as people in a free society? Should government tax the rich to help the poor? Is the free market fair? Is it sometimes wrong to tell the truth? Is killing sometimes morally required? Is it possible, or desirable, to legislate morality? Do individual rights and the common good conflict?
Michael J. Sandel’s “Justice” course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard. Up to a thousand students pack the campus theater to hear Sandel relate the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of the day, and this fall, public television will air a series based on the course. Justice offers readers the same exhilarating journey that captivates Harvard students. This book is a searching, lyrical exploration of the meaning of justice, one that invites readers of all political persuasions to consider familiar controversies in fresh and illuminating ways. Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, patriotism and dissent, the moral limits of markets—Sandel dramatizes the challenge of thinking through these conflicts, 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 wise—an essential new addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the hard questions of our civic life.

評分想想這大概是我第一本完整讀完的英文書,語言淺顯話題實際還是蠻適閤的。大量的實例與假設消除瞭哲學論辯的枯燥,既建構框架也提齣問題,感到那些問題都在腦子裏糾纏過不能迴避也決斷不瞭。而尋找答案可能比答案本身更重要。
评分雖然不同意他的結論,寫的還是不錯的,深入淺齣。
评分淺顯易懂科普瞭邊沁、康德、羅爾斯、德沃金,客觀、中立地闡述這些與他觀點都截然相反的理念,我雖然不同意他最後的社群主義理念,也對他有些欽佩。
评分雖然不同意他的結論,寫的還是不錯的,深入淺齣。
