  • 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 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!!

      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.

    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.

    “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.”

  • @braap02
    @braap02 14 лет назад

    @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.

    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.

    Aristotle and the flute example was a great example of justice. Aristotle said that flute distribution should go to the best players because they will do the flutes justice and create good music. The more modern example with the golf cart. I would like to comment on what seems fair or unfair in this situation. Tiger Woods, recently quit a gold tournament because he couldn’t tolerate the pain in his injured leg for 18 holes. He said, “I will wait until I am the right age to use the golf cart.” He is arguably one of the greatest golf players to ever play, and he chose to back out of a tournament to follow traditional rules. I believe that the example you gave is very similar to Tiger Woods recent controversy. One ides that comes up, is that there are many people who came to watch Tiger play, he let many fans down. There were many fans who spent money, traveled to see his greatness, and then he backs out. I am sure even those traditional rules should be amended in special circumstances. How about walking half the distance? Does playing with an injured foot anyways give advantage to the other players? I am sure that other players would want to play against Tiger at his best and beat him at his best, not lose to Tiger with one foot. Tiger could have walked 9 holes and used the cart for the other nine. Maybe it is time to start thinking about situations where it is just, because if not, then another tournament should be created for disabled golfers. I am not an expert, but I would be willing to bet that Tiger would be number one in that tournament. Taking the provided example to the Supreme Court was intriguing. Let everyone access to the golf cart is a good idea, however the endurance portion of the game I am sure can impact the game.
