Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? by Michael J. Sandel

informative medium-paced

3.0

He lost me when he started talking about Aristotle AFTER Kant and Rawls.

Aristotle’s “math” (as well as science) doesn’t hold up today.

Math is the only thing that remains constant, science and social conditions are constantly being revised and changing.

Logic is math. If the philosophers math doesn’t hold up, neither does their logic.

Also, at the end when the author is discussing marriage and the “TWO” main reasons people get married - the arguments republicans and democrats put forth, he says there’s no “morally neutral” way to approach the institution of marriage.

The economic advantages of marriage would beg to differ. Ignore economics and you’re ignoring math.

His conclusions were flawed and you should stop reading after page 183.
