Liberalism and the Limits of Justice

Michael Sandel's "Liberalism and the Limits of Justice" delves into the philosophical foundations of liberalism, critically examining its emphasis on individual rights and its limitations in addressing moral and political issues.

Sandel argues that contemporary liberalism's focus on individual rights often neglects the importance of community, shared values, and the common good.

He challenges the notion of neutrality in public life, suggesting that a just society requires a robust public discourse about moral and political values.

The book explores various philosophical perspectives, including those of John Rawls and other prominent thinkers, to offer a comprehensive analysis of liberalism's strengths and weaknesses.

Sandel's work has significantly influenced political philosophy and continues to be relevant in contemporary debates about justice, equality, and the role of government.
