  • www.ted.com Democracy thrives on civil debate, Michael Sandel says -- but we're shamefully out of practice. He leads a fun refresher, with TEDsters sparring over a recent Supreme Court case (PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin) whose outcome reveals the critical ingredient in justice.

    Once a lecturer, always a lecturer. It was amazing to see how he managed to keep the audience rapt with attention. And more heart-warmingly, these past 20 minutes looked like a college reunion in all its nostalgia - the many adults sitting together once more for another lecture again. As if they simply were the undergraduates most undoubtly had once been.

    Being a student from India , a country with reservation system. My immediate answer to the flute question was " Give it to a bad flutist " - because the good flutist has been given the flute and has mastered it. It is time to give more oppertunity to bad still enthusiastic flutists. Back in India that is what we call social justice.

    I'm watching the Harvard University Justice course online. The problems raised there, the opinions of the attendees and the solutions excellently explained by Michael Sandel given by the great philosophers throughout history provide an invaluable starting point to maturely face the political and social problems of contemporary society and although No easy solutions can be found, the mere fact of understanding the problem in depth brings us some peace of mind, renews our energy, stimulates our imagination and the most surprising thing: boring is overcome and life becomes very fun and interesting.

    Unfortunately, before any democratic debates could possibly be happening, any remarks that go against the pre-established political agenda is out of the question. The more I put myself on the path to learn more about justice and reasoning, the more helpless I sometimes feel. Optimism of the will, I suppose. That's why listening to this man is almost a source of consolation to me. Thank you, Mr. Sandel!

      I find Michael Sandel very politically correct, and yet it doesn't prevent him from debating - actually it has the opposite effect. Anyone will love to engage in political debate with someone who listens well and reformulates, and who is clear and respectful.

    I can't see why people would dislike this video, I applaud Michael Sandal in all I've seen of him in his 'justice: what's the right thing to do' and not because I always agree with him but because he presents it well and allows the audience to think for themselves when asking questions for votes of what they think and with each question is brought new light on the subject. Awesome Job at yet another great presentation. And I totally go for the idea of doing such presentations worldwide!!

    Aw crud, for the first time I agree with Scalia.
    Also, though I agree that deeper political debate is vital, I must decry under the strongest possible terms the retreat to Aristotalean essentialism. What is important is not some mythical "essential character" of something as clearly man-made and mutable as a sport, but the benefit or drawbacks of each decision.
    Really interested to hear what Michael Sandel would have to say about Karl Popper...

    Bringing in moral consequence or background of something under debate leads to harmonising the views because we become capable of knowing that why the debate exist at first place and often differing views are result of ignorance about different view points. It saves policy makers from wasting time on immaterial questions.

  • @braap02
    @braap02 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @throwsparx That is pretty much the opposite of what a debate is about. Debate is about bringing up the pros AND the cons. Through use of logic and reason, weighing these positives and negatives lead the observer of said debate figuring out which side (if any) is the logical position to hold.

  • @user-nv7wq4nm7u

    “There is a tendency to think that if we engage too directly with moral questions in politics, that’s a recipe for disagreement, and for that matter, a recipe for intolerance and coercion. So better to shy away from, to ignore, the moral and religious convictions that people bring to civic life. It seems to me that our discussion reflects the opposite, that a better way to mutual respect is to engage directly with the moral convictions citizens bring to public life, rather than to require that people leave their deepest moral convictions outside politics before they enter. That, it seems to me, is a way to begin to restore the art of democratic argument.”

    @williamlee1245 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm trying to relate the flute analogy to say... money. Well what is money good for, its purpose? For the exchange of goods and services. What qualities and excellences, connected to the exchange of goods and services, are worthy of our recognition and honor when it comes to money? Making a lot of it? Using it for the most good?
    For the former, this could defend people's retention of wealth or argue against a system of redistribution if those who get wealthy would indeed be "good" at making more of it. For the latter, it could defend giving all the money to the state, a group of people, or even a single person who could use it for the most good for society. Either way, Aristotle's teleological method of justice seems to run into a face-value weirdness when it comes to money and capital.

      I saw a youtube of his interactive lecture in Japan; I also saw him interviewed by a German journalist. The success of these projects depends on the knowledge and skill of the lecturer. Also, the quality -- the background education and experience -- of the interlocutor would vary in potential civic debates. I think it's interesting that in this TED talk, the debates seemed not from moral passion, but from defining the nature, essence, or purpose of an institution or practice.
