Sunday, April 19 at the Forum

Presenter:  Class member Dr. Peter Mehl wraps up our study of Michael Sandel's book entitled Justice:  What's the Right Thing to Do?  Peter will review Chapter 10 "Justice and the Common Good," pp. 244-269.

In this final chapter, Sandel develops his own communitarian view of the good society, a view in which he includes explicit moral and religious arguments and asserts his belief that government can't be neutral on difficult moral questions.  He concludes with four proposals for a politics of the common good.

Sandal advocates a politics of moral engagement as a more inspiring ideal than a politics of avoidance and believes that it is also a more promising basis for a just society.

Visit www.justiceharvard.org/justicecourse to see short videos of Michael Sandel teaching the course on which this book is based. Chapter 10 is the subject of Lectures 23 and 24.

All are welcome to attend! Join us in Room 222 in the Education Building (adjacent to the Sanctuary) or via Zoom at this link:
