Praise for "Justice" ""Justice", the new volume from superstar Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel, showcases the thinking on public morality that has made him one of the most sought-after lecturers in the world." --Richard Reeves, "Democracy""In terms we can all understand, [ "Justice"] confronts us with the concepts that lurk, so often unacknowledged, beneath our conflicts." --Jonathan Rauch, "The New York Times Book Review""More than exhilarating; exciting in its ability to persuade this student/reader, time and again, that the principle "now "being invoked--on this page, in this chapter--is the one to deliver the sufficiently inclusive guide to the making of a decent life." --Vivian Gornick, "Boston Review""Hard cases may make bad law, but in Michael Sandel's hands they produce some cool philosophy . . . "Justice "is a timely plea for us to desist from political bickering and see if we can have a sensible discussion about what sort of society we really want to live in." --Jonathan Ree, "The Observer "(London)"Michael J. Sandel, political philosopher and public intellectual, is a liberal, but not the annoying sort. His aim is not to boss people around but to bring them around to the pleasures of thinking clearly about large questions of social policy. Reading this lucid book is like taking his famous undergraduate course Justice without the tiresome parts, such as term papers and exams." --George F. Will""Justice "is Sandel at his finest: no matter what your views are, his delightful style will draw you in, and he'll then force you to rethink your assumptions and challenge you to question accepted ways of thinking . . . He calls us to a better way of doing politics, and a more enriching way of living our lives." --E. J. Dionne, Jr.
