In his acclaimed book{\textemdash}based on his legendary Harvard course{\textemdash}Sandel offers a rare education in thinking through the complicated issues and controversies we face in public life today. It has emerged as a most lucid and engaging guide for those who yearn for a more robust and thoughtful public discourse. {\textquotedblleft}In terms we can all understand,{\textquotedblright} wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New York Times, Justice{\textquotedblleft}confronts us with the concepts that lurk...beneath our conflicts.{\textquotedblright}

Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, the moral limits of markets{\textemdash}Sandel relates the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of the day, and shows how a surer grasp of philosophy can help us make sense of politics, morality, and our own convictions as well.

Justice is lively, thought-provoking, and wise{\textemdash}an essential new addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the hard questions of our civic life. },
