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.
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.
本篇是转帖,时间久远,不记得转自哪里了 我是看到电车难题了,就当延伸阅读吧。 (一)电车难题(The Trolley Problem) 引用: 一、“电车难题”是伦理学领域最为知名的思想实验之一,其内容大致是:一个疯子把五个无辜的人绑在电车轨道上。一辆失控的电车朝他们...
评分( 因为看到刘瑜的这篇书评才跑来看《公正》的相关资料的,相信这一篇会对大家有用) 这是一个暴躁的时代。在微博上我见过几个经济学爱好者吵架,说起来也是真名实姓、有头有脸的人物,吵起来竟然也时不时冒出“你这个傻叉”、“XXX这个蠢货”、“你吃XXX的屎去吧”这样的用...
评分引子 --------- 两年前,一个朋友曾经跟我说过华尔街的道德困境。因为华尔街的交易员的薪资来源于中介费和手续费,而不必为顾客赚多少钱承担风险,导致他们为了利益不顾一切的赌博,设计新的债券,兜售一切有市场的东西,并最终引发了2008年的金融海啸。 当时我不太懂这样的道...
评分桑德尔教授的“公正”课,在哈佛整整讲了30年,他因此被认为是“世界上最受欢迎的老师之一”,本书是他课堂传授内容的总结与整理。从书中看,他试图从常识的角度,对人类既往文明史进行一次有效的梳理,最大化地呈现古往今来的思想者们对“公正”的思考,以及他们所遭遇的困境...
评分通常人们都说生命无价,似乎没什么人是反对的。在这本书里,尤其是讨论到功利主义的时候,有学生就援引这个说法,以反驳所谓功利主义者给生命开价的作法。福特汽车公司是书中一例。我想仅就这一例子做两种批评。 一来,人们说生命无价的时候,他们是什么意思呢?因为这实在是...
前面都非常好,边看还边做笔记,最后两章看不下去了。
评分夹在论文和presentation之间读完的。要是说有的书是所有人都该读的话那一定是这本。
评分购买的kindle版,感觉比视频中讲的要详细、深入,可以结合着一起学习,对于备考GRE的逻辑写作很有帮助,因为这本书对于很多到的道德和选择困境都做了多角度的讨论,非常的启发思路
评分哈佛公开课那个视频看了好几遍,挺有意思。
评分着实有点看不下去了。站在发达资本主义国家(说白了,美国)的单一价值观上,从一个极端晃荡到另一个极端,尝试找到一种“正义”的立场从而逃避一切道德审判。虽然小故事讲得挺有趣,但我还是怎么看怎么觉得不是人间正道。
