Course Description
http://academicearth.org/courses/justice-whats-the-right-thing-to-do
Justice is one of the most
popular courses in Harvard’s history, having taught more than 14,000
students over the course of two decades.
In this course, Sandel challenges us with difficult moral dilemmas and
asks our opinion about the right thing to do. He then asks us to
examine our answers in the light of new scenarios. The results are
often surprising, revealing that important moral questions are never
black and white.
This course also addresses the hot topics of our day—affirmative
action, same-sex marriage, patriotism and rights—and Sandel shows us
that we can revisit familiar controversies with a fresh perspective.
