Synopsis
Justicia ha vendido un millón de ejemplares, el curso que imparte Michael Sandel en Harvard ha inspirado a millones de personas y su versión televisiva es un éxito de masas.
La explicación es sencilla: al examinar el papel de la justicia en nuestra vida y en la sociedad, Sandel explica cómo la filosofía puede ayudar a entender la política, la religión, la moral e incluso nuestras propias convicciones.
Deteniéndose en cuestiones tan polémicas como el aborto, la eutanasia, el matrimonio homosexual, el patriotismo o la disidencia, Sandel muestra que las cuestiones más importantes que afrontamos como ciudadanos pueden someterse a un debate racional. Justicia garantiza a los lectores de todas las edades e ideologías un viaje fascinante a través de los conceptos que subyacen tras las controversias políticas y morales de la actualidad.
Justicia es entretenido, estimulante e inteligente, una adición esencial a la breve lista de libros que tratan convincentemente las cuestiones fundamentales de nuestra vida en sociedad.
A renowned Harvard professor’s brilliant, sweeping, inspiring account of the role of justice in our society–and of the moral dilemmas we face as citizens
For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport,”The Nation’s reviewer of Justice remarked.
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. In terms we can all understand, wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New York Times, Justice “confronts us with the concepts that lurk . . . beneath our conflicts.
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 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.
