Author: Michael J. Sandel
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429952687
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
A renowned Harvard professor's brilliant, sweeping, inspiring account of the role of justice in our society--and of the moral dilemmas we face as citizens What are our obligations to others as people in a free society? Should government tax the rich to help the poor? Is the free market fair? Is it sometimes wrong to tell the truth? Is killing sometimes morally required? Is it possible, or desirable, to legislate morality? Do individual rights and the common good conflict? Michael J. Sandel's "Justice" course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard. Up to a thousand students pack the campus theater to hear Sandel relate the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of the day, and this fall, public television will air a series based on the course. Justice offers readers the same exhilarating journey that captivates Harvard students. This book is a searching, lyrical exploration of the meaning of justice, one that invites readers of all political persuasions to consider familiar controversies in fresh and illuminating ways. Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, patriotism and dissent, the moral limits of markets—Sandel dramatizes the challenge of thinking through these con?icts, 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—an essential new addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the hard questions of our civic life.

As Michael Patrick Ryan understood it, the criminal justice system was in place to protect the innocent, prosecute the guilty and preserve peace in the land. But what he got tangled up in, none of the above was accomplished. An innocent’s life was forever ruined, the guilty were free to continue their destruction and peace did not reign. And so his options were clear. If he couldn’t depend on the authorities to do their job he would have to take justice in his own hands . . . and so he did.

Chicken Justice

Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Country Living welcomes back Steven Coffmans celebrated collection of essays about life on the farm. Hailed by Library Journal as “amusing, exuberant, and poignant,” it now includes three entirely new and thoroughly delightful articles to enjoy. “Our first country spring was in mid-renaissance. Everywhere life was bourgeoning! First had come the early-returning flocks of robins and red-winged blackbirds…Then antediluvian opossums wobbling out of time-warp hibernation, groundhogs popping up on roadsides like chubby heralds…an explosion of baby bunnies.” What happens when two hippies with virtually no knowledge of country life decide to set up house on a 129-acre farm in Upstate New York? Thats what Steven Coffman and his wife Bobbie did in the late summer of 1972, and in Back to the Farm he tells the whole story of their grand undertaking with great humor, pathos, and wit. Its all about the many animals--pigs, ducks, cows, horses, cats, dogs, and other country creatures--who share their lives, as well as about learning the ways of the land, getting in tune with natures cycles, and raising a family. Coffman, who will become a Country Living columnist this year, centers his pieces around the animals that make up his new rural world, capturing the stubborn recalcitrance of a pig, the pony that steps into the living room, and the magical migration of magnificent Monarch butterflies. “…a lively, zany tale of country life…”--Bookwatch. “Bemused, informative and breezy…will give a nudge to those who only dream of escaping the urban life.”--Publishers Weekly.
