Michael Sandel (b.1953)

About this episode

For this episode, we take a look at the profoundly influential ideas of American philosopher and political theorist Michael Sandel. 

Born in the golden year of 1953, Sandel enriched the realm of philosophy and criticisms of Rawlsian liberalism with his profound contributions spanning ethics, morality, and civic virtue. His ideas resonate robustly within the contemporary moral dilemmas, thus ensuring a gripping expedition for our listeners into his written oeuvre and philosophical milestones. Join us as we contemplate his views on the self - steeped as it is in communal and societal norms, values, and commitments rather than being an unencumbered, isolated entity. 

You'll experience an enriching journey that takes you from the hearty community life in Minnesota to the revered halls of Oxford and the bustling classrooms of Harvard, all of which set the stage for our exploration.
