Michael Sandel has taught the famous "Justice" course at Harvard for two decades. Nearly a thousand students pack Harvard's historic Sanders. Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do? But it's the right thing to do. This way the video thread will not be flooded with posts that will get the videos lost. This is the title of a book by Michael Sandel which was a NY Times bestseller. More than 14,000 students have taken the course, making it one of the most highly attended in Harvard's history. From time immemorial - or at least since Spike Lee's 1989 movie Do the Right Thing - men and women have asked, like the subtitle of Michael Sandel's new book, "What's the right thing to do?"[1] Every year a thousand or so Harvard undergraduates seeking an answer to this question sign up for "Moral Reasoning 22: Justice," Professor Sandel's renowned introductory course and the most popular offering in that university's history. Back in 2009, Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel made his course, Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?, available on the web for free (YouTube - iTunes - Web). We are always faced with the decision to do what's right, or do what's easy. Sandel will give the annual Boston University School of Law Distinguished Lecture concerning his recent book, Justice: What's the Right Thing To Do?, followed by a symposium on the book. Doing the right thing is usually the difficult thing. One for the videos themselves and another for the discussion. Michael Sandel argues that we can, and his recent book will no doubt persuade many to join him in his sophisticated yet convincing optimism. Can we stop the steady spread of corruption and injustice in our modern civic life? Justice is the first Harvard course to be made freely available online and on public television.
