A TLS, GUARDIAN AND NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020

The new bestseller from the acclaimed author of Justice and one of the world's most popular philosophers

"Astute, insightful, and empathetic...A crucial book for this moment" Tara Westover, author of Educated

These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favour of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequalit

Что мы сегодня считаем справедливыми и правильными поступками? Веками лучшие умы и таланты человечества отвечали на эти вопросы для своего поколения — каждый раз заново. Майкл Сэндел на основании 30-летнего опыта преподавания политэкономии дает свои ответы на вопросы о справедливости, разъясняя некоторые из великих философских трудов, учитывая острейшие современные юридические и политические споры. Допустимы ли эвтаназия, аборты, однополые браки и суррогатное материнство? Можно ли оправдать убийство? Каково место религии в политике? Можно ли считать нормальным раздувание цен во время катастроф? И что такое в итоге социальная…

Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, outsourcing inmates to for-profit prisons, auctioning admission to elite universities, or selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay? Isn't there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life-medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have…

Все на продажу. Ну, или почти все. Рыночное мышление сегодня пользуется непререкаемым авторитетом, ведь именно его механизмы показали свою результативность при достижении богатства и процветания. Сегодня логика купли-продажи во многом управляет окружающей нас действительностью. Коммерческий подход, прикасаясь к вещам, ранее ему недоступным, оставляет на них свой неизгладимый след, разрушая первичный смысл и суть многих понятий и явлений: - служба в армии по контракту и право иммиграции в США за деньги разрушают смысл понятия "гражданство"; - тюремные VIP-камеры со всеми удобствами словно насмешка над фактом наказания за…

Michael Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at the University of Harvard. Sandel's legendary 'Justice' course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard. Sandel is the author of many books and has previously written for the Atlantic Monthly, the New Republic and the New York Times. He was the 2009 BBC Reith Lecturer.

What do we owe one another as citizens? Should government tax the rich to help the poor? Can dissent be patriotic? Is it sometimes wrong to tell the truth? Is killing sometimes morally required? Is it possible, or desirable, to legislate morality? How can we balance individual rights and the common good? These questions are at the core of our public life today - and at the heart of Justice, in which Michael Sandel shows how a surer grasp of philosophy can help us to make sense of politics, morality, and our own convictions as well.
