Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? de Michael J. Sandel

Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?

Autor Michael J. Sandel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 feb 2010

Observăm că structura volumului Justice nu urmează un tipar academic rigid, ci este organizată ca o invitație la reflecție morală prin intermediul dezbaterii argumentate. Metodologia lui Michael J. Sandel pleacă de la dileme cotidiene și cazuri juridice celebre pentru a extrage principiile fundamentale ale filozofiei politice, făcând legătura între teorie și viața civică. Remarcăm modul în care autorul reușește să transforme concepte complexe în întrebări vitale despre echitate, libertate individuală și binele comun, fără a oferi răspunsuri dogmatice.

Comparabil cu Morality and Justice de John-Stewart Gordon în rigurozitate, dar actualizat pentru contextul dezbaterilor publice contemporane, Justice se distinge prin stilul narativ și capacitatea de a aduce filozofia în arena publică. În timp ce alte texte se concentrează pe o abordare de manual, Sandel folosește ritmul cursului său legendar de la Harvard pentru a ghida cititorul prin labirintul eticii moderne. Apreciem cum această lucrare sintetizează decenii de cercetare academică într-un limbaj accesibil, menținând totodată standardele intelectuale care l-au consacrat pe autor.

În contextul operei sale, Justice reprezintă fundamentul pe care s-au construit lucrări ulterioare precum What Money Can't Buy sau The Tyranny of Merit. Dacă în primele sale scrieri Sandel se concentra pe critica teoretică a liberalismului lui John Rawls, aici el extinde analiza către aplicații practice, investigând modul în care valorile morale influențează deciziile economice și sociale. Este o piesă centrală a filozofiei populare care reușește să demonstreze că marile întrebări ale umanității sunt mai relevante ca niciodată.

Recenzii

A road map for negotiating modern moral dilemmas... For those seeking a short course through moral philosophy from a witty writer, fast on his feet, and nimble with his pen, this thin volume is difficult to beat
Justiceis a lucid and compelling analysis of our current moral dilemmas, which argues for a new commitment to citizenship and the common good
In the beautifully concise explanations of American philosopher Michael Sandel, I see great insight into our current predicaments. If any political reckoning is on its way . . . then perhaps it might come from the philosophy department of Harvard
Michael Sandel, perhaps the most prominent college professor in America,...practices the best kind of academic populism, managing to simplify John Stuart Mill and John Rawls without being simplistic. But Sandel is best at what he calls bringing 'moral clarity to the alternatives we confront as democratic citizens'.... He ends up clarifying a basic political divide - not between left and right, but between those who recognize nothing greater than individual rights and choices, and those who affirm a 'politics of the common good,' rooted in moral beliefs that can't be ignored

Michael Sandel transforms moral philosophy by putting it at the heart of civic debate....Sandel's insistence on the inescapably ethical character of political debate is enormously refreshing
A spellbinding philosopher.... For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport.... He is calling for nothing less than a reinvigoration of citizenship
An ambitious and an appealing idea. Intriguingly, I find myself persuaded that it might well be worth a try
More than exhilarating; exciting in its ability to persuade this student/reader, time and again, that the principle now being invoked-on this page, in this chapter-is the one to deliver the sufficiently inclusive guide to the making of a decent life
Sandel explains theories of justice...with clarity and immediacy; the ideas of Aristotle, Jeremy Bentham, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Robert Nozick and John Rawls have rarely, if ever, been set out as accessibly... In terms we can all understand,Justiceconfronts us with the concepts that lurk, so often unacknowledged, beneath our conflicts
This book is absolutely indispensable for anyone who wants to be a good citizen. It shows how to balance competing values, a talent our nation desperately needs nowadays
Sandel dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics.... Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading
Hard cases may make bad laws, but in Michael Sandel's hands they produce some cool philosophy.... Justice is a timely plea for us to desist from political bickering and see if we can have a sensible discussion about what sort of society we really want to live in
There have been various attempts over the decades to bury moral philosophy -- to dismiss convictions about right and wrong as cultural prejudices, or secretions of the brain, or matters so personal they shouldn't even affect our private lives. But moral questions always return, as puzzles and as tragedies. Would we push a hefty man onto a railroad track to save the lives of five others? Should Petty Officer 1st Class Marcus Luttrell, in June of 2005, have executed a group of Afghan goatherds who, having stumbled on his position, might inform the enemy about his unit? (Luttrell let them go, the Taliban attacked, and three of his comrades died.) These examples and others -- price-gouging after Hurricane Katrina, affirmative action, gay marriage -- are all grist for the teaching of Michael Sandel, perhaps the most prominent college professor in America. His popular class at Harvard -- Moral Reasoning 22: Justice -- attracts about a sixth of all undergraduates. For those lacking $49,000 a year in tuition and board, he has writtenJustice: What's the Right Thing to Do?which has been further translated into a PBS series and a Web site, JusticeHarvard.org

Descriere

Michael Sandel's Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? invites readers of all ages and political persuasions on a journey of moral reflection, and shows how reasoned debate can illuminate our lives.

  • Is it always wrong to lie?
  • Should there be limits to personal freedom?
  • Can killing sometimes be justified?
  • Is the free market fair? What is the right thing to do?

Questions like these are at the heart of our lives. In this acclaimed book Michael Sandel - BBC Reith Lecturer and the Harvard professor whose 'Justice' course has become world famous - gives us a lively and accessible introduction to the intersection of politics and philosophy. He helps us think our way through such hotly contested issues as equal rights, democracy, euthanasia, abortion and same-sex marriage, as well as the ethical dilemmas we face every day.
