Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? Michael J. Sandel
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Author most recently of this important book on the relation of .. Justice 公義，相信有很多人都已經忘記或者以為係必然的。 但公義是什麼呢，係你一個我一個? Can we stop the steady spread of corruption and injustice in our modern civic life? This is the title of a book by Michael Sandel which was a NY Times bestseller. When we act out of duty—doing something simply because it is right—only then do our actions have moral worth. For some reason, I have sort of dreaded finishing and writing about Michael Sandel's Justice. Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do? Usually when I finish a book, I look forward to putting my thoughts down and writing a review. Sandel concludes with his own thoughts on how questions of justice should be approached in our society. Should "price gouging" after a hurricane be illegal? Finkelstein has also alienated some activists by insisting that the only viable path in the struggle for justice for Palestinians is to work for a two-state solution, a position he defends in the interview. Michael Sandel argues that we can, and his recent book will no doubt persuade many to join him in his sophisticated yet convincing optimism. It is sometimes wrong to tell the truth? Should television's Judge Judy make $25 million a year, while the chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, makes $217400 a year? Is killing sometimes morally required? Harvard Professor of Government and 2009 Reith Lecturer, Michael Sandel considers the role of justice in our society and our lives, revealing how an understandi. As such, he denigrated and insulted their agency and their capacity to decide what was the right thing for them to do as an oppressed people. (Michael Sandel is a wonderful philospher and his lectures are readily accessible.) If you enjoy the experience, you might want to join me in taking his EdX course (ER22x Justice), which starts on 3/12/13. PART ONE: ARGUING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PART TWO: WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? What is justice, and what does it mean? Part 1 Sandel describes the 1996 court case of a white woman named.
