Justice

What's the Right Thing to Do?
Book • 2007
In this book, Michael J. Sandel delves into various theories of justice, including utilitarianism, libertarianism, and the philosophies of Aristotle, Kant, and Rawls.

He applies these theories to contemporary legal and political controversies, encouraging readers to think critically about complex issues and to engage in a more robust and thoughtful public discourse.

The book is based on Sandel's renowned Harvard course and aims to help readers make sense of politics, morality, and their own convictions.
