About This Book
In this book, Michael Sandel takes up some of the hotly contested moral
and political issues of our time, including affirmative action, assisted
suicide, abortion, gay rights, stem cell research, the meaning of
toleration and civility, the gap between rich and poor, the role of
markets, and the place of religion in public life. He argues that the
most prominent ideals in our political life--individual rights and
freedom of choice--do not by themselves provide an adequate ethic for a
democratic society. Sandel calls for a politics that gives greater
emphasis to citizenship, community, and civic virtue, and that grapples
more directly with questions of the good life. Liberals often worry that
inviting moral and religious argument into the public sphere runs the
risk of intolerance and coercion. These essays respond to that concern
by showing that substantive moral discourse is not at odds with
progressive public purposes, and that a pluralist society need not
shrink from engaging the moral and religious convictions that its
citizens bring to public life.
