From Publishers Weekly

Harvard government professor Sandel (Public Philosophy) dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics—the recent government bailouts, the draft, surrogate pregnancies, same-sex marriage, immigration reform and reparations for slavery—that situates various sides in the debates in the context of timeless philosophical questions and movements. Sandel takes utilitarianism, Kant's categorical imperative and Rawls's theory of justice out of the classroom, dusts them off and reveals how crucial these theories have been in the construction of Western societies—and how they inform almost every issue at the center of our modern-day polis. The content is dense but elegantly presented, and Sandel has a rare gift for making complex issues comprehensible, even entertaining (see his sections entitled Shakespeare versus the Simpsons and What Ethics Can Learn from Jack Benny and Miss Manners), without compromising their gravity. With exegeses of Winnie the Pooh, transcripts of Bill Clinton's impeachment hearing and the works of almost every major political philosopher, Sandel reveals how even our most knee-jerk responses bespeak our personal conceptions of the rights and obligations of the individual and society at large. Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading. (Oct.)

From The Washington Post

philosophy prof as TV star: Not many thinkers can pull that off, but Michael Sandel has taken his courses on political philosophy from the halls of Harvard to the nation's small screens, courtesy of PBS. Sandel's appeal lies partly in the striking hypotheticals he throws out, such as whether it's okay to kill one person directly (on an overloaded lifeboat, for example) to save three others; and partly in the way he makes good use of even rambling responses by the students he calls upon. He also discusses thorny issues with clarity, insight and a broad range of references -- traits on display in his new book. In a chapter on equality, Sandel addresses a question raised by the philosopher John Rawls: whether we should settle for a system in which "the average schoolteacher . . . makes about $43,000 a year [while] David Letterman . . . earns $31 million a year." After summarizing Rawls's observations about the many contingencies affecting how one's talents match (or do not) the needs of the society in which one lives, Sandel brings the discussion down to Earth by quoting from Woody Allen's movie "Stardust Memories." The much wealthier and more famous character played by Allen defends his celebrityhood to an old friend, now a cabbie, by saying: "If I had been an Apache Indian, those guys didn't need comedians at all, right? So I'd be out of work." The cabbie, however, gets the last word: "Oh, come on, that doesn't help me feel any better."

读后感

现在，人们也在谈公正了。 也许是，人们以前谈惯了发展、GDP、先富起来，现在乍谈起公正来难免谈得有些急功近利，心浮气躁。所以党报特地发表长文要求大家：理性看待社会公正。我虽从没有不理性看待公正，但捧读之后，依然觉得如醍醐灌了顶，茅塞都顿开了。 应该坦...

1 假设这样一个场景。 一对结婚多年的夫妻，为了给已经如同拍到第九季的美剧般乏味无趣的性生活带来一点新的花样，找到了一位妙龄女子，尝试3P。 你会怎样看待这件事？ 从功利主义的角度看，既然我们所追求的是社会总体幸福程度的增长，那么这场特殊的性爱既可以让老...  

最近我老是在想，这一辈子以后的每一天，都可能不会比过去的一天更好了。 纳粹迫害犹太人的电影中，我最揪心的场景往往不是最残酷的死亡一幕，而是社会大动荡的前夜，犹太人在想：这都什么年代了，再糟糕会有多糟糕。于是，他们欢声笑语，吃着晚饭，拉着小提琴，点燃了蜡烛……...
