by Michael J. Sandel
Compare to estimated retail price: S$27.85

Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?
Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?

Ethics explored through modern dilemmas and philosophy.

If you enjoy grappling with society's trickiest ethical questions, Michael Sandel's "Justice" could feel like a breath of fresh intellectual air. It takes complex philosophical concepts and applies them to contemporary issues, encouraging you, the reader, to dive deep into your own beliefs and perhaps emerge with a firmer grasp on the nebulous idea of justice. It’s a kind of book that invites you to challenge yourself and the world around you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport. In his acclaimed book—based on his legendary Harvard course—Sandel 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. Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, the moral limits of markets—Sandel 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. 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.
