Relating Philosophy to the World: Michael Sandel's Vision

This episode of In Conversation With features a conversation between Michael Sandel, the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government Theory at Harvard University, and Marie-Laure Salles, Director of the Geneva Graduate Institute.
In his latest book, _The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?_, Michael Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalisation and rising inequality. Through the years, he has built a powerful toolbox for the critical assessment of our current life and institutional choices. So how do we move from critical thinking to a constructive re-engagement and positive transformation of our world?

I found it difficult to connect philosophy to the world, especially in emerging countries. But thank you, Mr. Sandel, for your wonderful insight. Can't wait to read your next book.

Perhaps the greatest book that conects philosophy to the world is Atlas Shrugged, followed closely by The Fountainhead. They are quite long, so another option is "Anthem". All three are by the same author.

Many need to broaden their sense of “shared lives”.

17:52 I doubt it very much. There are intra-cultural variations in the cognitive landscape, let alone amongst various cultures. There could, and should, be a common ground but it has been purposefully poisoned, fact that has led to individual cultures disintegration. It’s a sort of iatrogenic socio-cultural schizophrenia.

“Our shared life”. That’s fine for a people who consider themselves a people, who consider themselves as sharing a life. That’s far from the multiracial, multiracial US and much of the contemporary West. Any approach to politics that attempts to reads the latter in terms of the former is doomed to failure. It’s quite likely disingenuous.
