'What's the Right Thing to Do?' explores fundamental questions of justice and morality, challenging readers to critically examine their own beliefs and assumptions.

Sandel uses real-life ethical dilemmas to illustrate different approaches to moral reasoning, drawing on the ideas of influential philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill.

The book covers topics like affirmative action, same-sex marriage, and income inequality, prompting readers to consider the principles that should guide decision-making in a diverse and complex society.

Sandel emphasizes the importance of public discourse and civic engagement in addressing moral issues, arguing that a just society requires citizens to grapple with difficult ethical questions.

Through thought-provoking examples and accessible explanations, the book encourages readers to develop their own moral compass and contribute to a more just and equitable world.
