Filosofía pública

A must-have compilation of essays on morality in politics. In this book, Michael Sandel addresses some of the most controversial moral and political issues of our time, including assisted suicide, abortion, stem cell research, the gap between rich and poor, the role of markets, and the place of religion in political 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. These essays demonstrate that moral discourse is not at odds with progressive purposes, and that a pluralistic society need not avoid becoming involved in the moral and religious convictions that its citizens bring to public life.
