Michael Sandel Wants to Talk to You About Justice says the Chronicle of Higher Education in a headline yesterday (Sept. 28, 2009). The article discusses "Justice" Prof. Sandel's wildly popular undergraduate course at Harvard ("Moral Reasoning 22" in the course catalog), and the PBS series based on the course.
Coincidentally, Prof. Sandel is speaking here at the University of Washington School of Law this Friday, Oct. 2, at 2:30 (rm 133).
Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? is the book that complements the series. It's available here: JC578 .S25 2009 at Good Reads. (Well, as of this writing, it's checked out, but it will be back one day. You can request it in the catalog to be in line for it.)
The night before he speaks here Prof. Sandel is speaking and signing books at Town Hall. (See the University Book Store calendar.)
The television series has a website with supporting materials. You can even watch entire episodes.
The Law Library also has several of Prof. Sandel's earlier books:
- The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering (QH438.7 .S2634 2007 at Classified Stacks)
- Justice: A Reader (JC578 .J868 2007 at Classified Stacks)
- Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (1982) (JC578 .S26 at Classified Stacks)
