Michael J. Sandel's popular lecture class at Harvard University comprises a 12-program exploration of the nature of right and wrong.
Ethical dilemmas serve as springboards for looks at larger philosophical concepts, often their originators, and examples of other applications, including utilitarianism, libertarianism, markets and morals, Aristotle, Kant, Locke, Rawls, loyalty, and the common good. In addition to age-old questions, he addresses contemporary issues such same-sex marriage, affirmative action, and surrogate motherhood. Throughout, Sandel engages his students in surprisingly intimate discussions that may inspire classroom conversations of the same weighty issues.
