Harvard government professor Sandel (Public Philosophy) dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics—the recent government bailouts, the draft, surrogate pregnancies, same-sex marriage, immigration reform and reparations for slavery—that situates various sides in the debates in the context of timeless philosophical questions and movements. Sandel takes utilitarianism, Kant's categorical imperative and Rawls's theory of justice out of the classroom, dusts them off and reveals how crucial these theories have been in the construction of Western societies—and how they inform almost every issue at the center of our modern-day polis. The content is dense but elegantly presented, and Sandel has a rare gift for making complex issues comprehensible, even entertaining (see his sections entitled Shakespeare versus the Simpsons and What Ethics Can Learn from Jack Benny and Miss Manners), without compromising their gravity. With exegeses of Winnie the Pooh, transcripts of Bill Clinton's impeachment hearing and the works of almost every major political philosopher, Sandel reveals how even our most knee-jerk responses bespeak our personal conceptions of the rights and obligations of the individual and society at large. Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading.

适合我这类小白的政治哲学入门读物，没有任何知识基础框架的争论通常都会沦为屁股决定脑袋的各说各话或者骂街。如果社会人如果都了解一点政治哲学，舆论环境也会清净很多吧。

最开始读了前三章，然后作罢；近日为了一个批判分析从而捡起，在这两天内迅速读完了。人果然是需要purpose-oriented的。在这之中也吸收了很多，读书笔记再好好整理吧。总之，感谢把我带领进political philosophy的宏大世界中。

现代社会正义是什么？功利主义作为社会建设基本，其实就是性价比。建设可以用金钱来换算，去考虑性价比来分析做决定，但人呢？有生命，有思想的人的无法换算为金钱的部分又是否应该崇尚自由主义吗？ 心理学家说其实电车理论结果是一样的，但选择这个结果的过程需要思考的时间差异是有区别的。有过程正义和结果正义，那我们又应该怎么去选择呢？法律真的能做到完全的正义吗？看完还是有很多疑问。
