Michael Sandel : Justice,What’s the right thing to do?

21 Mar

Justice is one of the most popular courses in Harvard’s history. I have never seen any other course so comprehensive and engaging. This is the best free educational course on Philosophy on Internet today. Once you start with this then you cannot stop . It becomes an addiction. After you finish this video course on philosophy spanning 12 hours,you know that your life is transformed. You can sense that you have become a different person and you start to challenge established norms and rules.

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.He Poses moral & immoral questions to us and wants us to answer them based on our reasoning prowess. Catch is- We all know there is no right answer and neither a wrong answer to his questions. There’s just an answer. What’s seems wrong to many people does not seem wrong to others. Philosophy explores dark and unexplored regions of our brains.

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.
