Boston University Lecture and Symposium on Harvard Law Professor’s Recent Publication

Justice: What’s the Right Thing To Do?
A Public Lecture and Symposium on Michael J. Sandel’s Recent Book
Public Lecture: 12:30 to 2:00
Book Symposium: 2:30 to 6:00
Professor Michael J. 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. The symposium will feature commentators in law, philosophy, and political science along with a response by Professor Sandel. Boston University Law Review will publish the lecture, commentaries, and response.
Professor Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University, where he also teaches in the Law School. He is widely regarded as our nation’s leading civic republican political and constitutional theorist: his work focuses on citizenship, what we owe one another, and what way(s) of life a good society should promote. He is the author of Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (Cambridge University Press, 1982, 2nd edition, 1998), Democracy’s Discontent: America in Search of a Public Philosophy (Harvard University Press, 1996), Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics (Harvard University Press, 2005), and The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering (Harvard University Press, 2007). A public philosopher, he also has published articles in The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, and The New York Times. A renowned teacher, Professor Sandel’s famous course at Harvard, Justice, regularly enrolls nearly 1000 students and is now available around the world through webstreaming, podcasting, and a public television series (see http://justiceharvard.org/). In addition, he teaches “Markets, Morals, and the Law,” “Ethics and Biotechnology,” and “Globalization and Its Discontents.” From 2002 to 2005, Sandel served on the President’s Council on Bioethics, a national body appointed by the President to examine the ethical implications of new biomedical technologies.
