De Amerikaanse politieke filosoof Michael Sandel betoogt dat de scheiding tussen klassen, in een wereld waarin steeds meer dingen te koop zijn, de democratie direct beïnvloedt. Volgens de Harvard-hoogleraar “Rechtvaardigheid” verhindert het prijsverschil dat rijk en arm in dezelfde ruimtes samenleven en dezelfde ervaringen en goederen consumeren. De erkenning van sociale diversiteit verdwijnt, en dat is wat ervoor zorgt dat we ons niet meer bekommeren om het algemeen belang. Spreker op Fronteiras do Pensamento 2014.

Back to menu

Michael Sandel, filósofo político norte-americano, discute os processos que envolvem debates éticos e morais. Segundo Sandel, tais discussões não se resumem apenas à exposição de opiniões individuais, tampouco à busca da resposta correta. Argumentação, persuasão, contar narrativas e outros elementos devem surgir para que grupos aprendam a resolver impasses sobre valores como justiça e bem-viver. Conferencista do Fronteiras do Pensamento 2014.

Michael Sandel – Learning How to Argue in a Group

Michael Sandel is a political philosopher and a professor of government at Harvard University. He is known for his influential work on political philosophy, particularly on the topics of justice and morality. Here are some of the key points of his work:

  1. Critique of market-based societies: Sandel is critical of market-based societies, which he argues reduce everything to a commodity that can be bought and sold. He believes that this approach undermines the value of non-market goods, such as love, friendship, and civic virtue.

  2. The importance of public morality: Sandel argues that public morality is essential for a just society. This involves not just laws and regulations, but also a shared sense of ethical norms and values that guide our behavior and inform our political decisions.

  3. Critique of utilitarianism: Sandel is critical of the philosophical doctrine of utilitarianism, which holds that the greatest good for the greatest number should be the ultimate goal of society. He argues that this approach can lead to the sacrifice of individual rights and values for the sake of the majority.

  4. The need for a more inclusive society: Sandel believes that a just society must be inclusive and must recognize the dignity and worth of all individuals. He is critical of policies and practices that exclude or marginalize certain groups, such as immigrants, minorities, and the poor.

  5. The importance of moral reasoning: Sandel believes that moral reasoning is essential for making good decisions in politics and in life. He argues that we must engage in moral debate and discussion in order to build a more just and ethical society.

Overall, Sandel’s work is characterized by a deep commitment to social justice and a concern for the ethical foundations of politics and society.
