Illuminating look at how to judge what's right and fair in modern society
"The way things are does not determine the way they ought to be." So writes Harvard government and political philosophy professor Michael J. Sandel in this all-encompassing tour through the social, economic and political issues that preoccupy modern society. Seeking to define justice in a just society, Sandel forays into affirmative action, paid militaries, infant surrogacy, free markets and even cannibalism. His reviews of classical and modern philosophies, rightly intended to guide the reader through his exposition, slow down what is otherwise an informative, illuminating and entertaining book. Sandel argues for a "politics of moral engagement" that brings all citizens together in a quest for a just society. getAbstract highly recommends this book to free marketers, libertarians, utilitarians and people of all philosophical and political stripes.

I didn't buy it on the nook
Although i did not purchase it on the nook, it was still a very eye opening read. Very good.

GREAT BOOK! MUST READ
Very interesting compilations of lectures that will challenge our deeply grounded moral codes, and require the reader to view things from a different perspective.

It's an alright book
I had to buy this book for one of my classes. It can be interesting, but I don't think I would ever read it for fun. This coming from a girl who likes teen fiction...
