Justice (theory by Michael Sandel)

Michael Sandel's theory of justice emphasizes balancing individual rights with the common good by engaging in moral reasoning. He suggests that justice isn't just about following rules or maximizing benefits but involves examining the moral principles underlying our choices. Sandel advocates for a participatory approach where citizens deliberate about ethical values, fostering a society where decisions reflect shared moral commitments rather than abstract calculations. This view promotes fairness, community, and moral responsibility, encouraging active engagement in defining what is just within a society.
