Justice: What's the Right

Thing to Do?
By
Michael J. Sandel
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
"For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport," The Nation's
reviewer of Justice remarked. In his acclaimed book?based on his
legendary Harvard course?Sandel offers a rare education in thinking
through the complicated issues and controversies we face in public
life today. It has emerged as a most lucid and engaging guide for
those who yearn for a more robust and thoughtful public discourse.
"In terms we can all understand," wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New
York Times, Justice "confronts us with the concepts that lurk . . .
beneath our conflicts."

Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide,


abortion, national service, the moral limits of markets?Sandel relates
the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of
the day, and shows how a surer grasp of philosophy can help us
make sense of politics, morality, and our own convictions as well.

Justice is lively, thought-provoking, and wise?an essential new


addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the
hard questions of our civic life.

Farrar, Straus and Giroux
