Sandel NEVER misspeaks or displays ANY sort of verbal tic. Everything he says is 100% coherent and seemingly thought through, almost as if he's reading from a script made by a brilliantly gifted writer. It's the same whether he's doing these lectures, the BBC4 public philosophy shows or various interviews. It really is not just pretty impressive but truly awe inspiring - especially for a fellow teacher.

I never had a lecture like this in real life. Professor Sandel surely changed my perspective about learnings and group meetings and discussions. My life would never be the same, I may not remember all these lectures but I will not deny the fact that I've learned something exceptional and unforgettable, and that is the love of knowledge and the passion of sharing it amongst people with humility and understanding. In school and university learning and lectures for me are always tied up with words of being not good enough and pressure of learning but now I know the value of quality education. Learning is fun 💚 From Philippines, 2021

It's​ Feb.8, 2022​ and​ I'm​ here​ enjoying this​ lecture. Very​ worthwhile.

I’m still here, and the students restore my faith as well.

35:19 looks like sandel touched a nerve there LMFAO

It is really incredible the way he weaves each lesson, one into the other. Enjoyable and easy to follow. Thank you Harvard for the contribution. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I really like the way professor Michael Sandel responds and summarizes the points of these students. He links Patrick's point of the uncertainty of the conception of good and Mary Kate's point of freedom when deciding one's role. Michael Sandel then points out what is at stake: the priority between goodness and right, and the definition of a free person, which are topics of the next class. Amazing.

If I can turn on youtube to watch Dr Sandel all 12 lecture videos more than I don’t know how many times. I have full confidence that As a college student, I would have attended all of his 8am lectures If I had registered to the course on site.

Wow’s that’s lecture made my day in era 2023🎉

Thank you for sharing your reflections Chikeeze. Truly a good description of how we in this reciprocal communication can lift one another, and allow our gifts, strengths and talents to peak!

According to Kant, I think a virtue of self-appreciation is also a categorical imperative that everyone should abide with, hence, ultimately speaking, freedom, or say the right to choose what you do, coincides with the telos of the vocation you choose.

These videos are really great. I've been transfixed for the past 4 videos. I especially thought that the conversation on Affirmative action was rich and covered multiple perspectives, and it was presented by young minds in a dignified manner -- on both sides. It goes to show you how a good teacher/educator can set the stage for students to learn and grow by sharing different perspectives. The Socratic method is truly a great tool for education!

The Supreme Court should have looked at the very reason Golf was invented to protect the “integrity of the intent of the Sport.” Golf was invented in Scotland to maintain men’s fitness for WAR. The walking up and down hills with a bag full of “irons” was designed to replicate the walking of long difficult distances with a backpack and equipment. It is more difficult to maintain a proper swing when winded from walking a course with the Golf Bag. Similar to being winded for the biathlon after skiing when trying to zero in on the target shooting.

Walking The course is a distinguishing factor to separate professional l level versus others

There's also that notion...does being fit for something require the person's heart to be truly in it? Would Aristotle inquire that the person best fit for job is also one that genuinely wants to enter that profession? He seems to only look at it from the matter of inherent skill sets and virtues... I personally believe that an individual's personal motivation can drive them to learn new skills etc. so that they can become good at something they might not be naturally good at. That quality - paired with the consequential hard work and tenacity - is what determines whether a person is fit for something or not.

Thank you professor

Great learning, Thank you very much. Am gaining a lot.

its amazing that we study aristotle to this day, just as the scholastics in 14th century feudal colleges debated and disputed his words endlessly, 8th century middle eastern islamic centers of learning interpreted and applied his logic, all the way back to the Lyceum over 2300 years ago where Aristotle himself taught a Greek audience of people just like us today

Thank you! Something told me that was the case.

I don't understand all of it, but the part I understand makes me want to learn more

Prof Sandel. you made me aware of the inequality in the BBBEE Act in South Africa. I draft my complaint from listening to this video's . The Ends and Means.

Aristotle also suggests that the is only one 'end' or 'purpose' for every individual... even if there is that one exclusive thing they're great at, the average person has an array of motivations and skills that they should be able/will want to act upon. Especially in our modern society, where it's very unlikely for a person to stay in one career throughout their whole lives, due to the rise of AI and structural employment... Many people also have interests that are maybe 'inconsistent' with each other, but they're still able to compromise and pursue both of these ideals in some form or another e.g. a scientist who works in lab, but also finds the mean to communicate/entertain audiences through a science broadcast show. Both pursuits require a different set of skills but an individual is capable of doing both. I think Aristotle robs a person of the ability to fully explore their potential (which shouldn't be entirely objective on the grounds of freedom).

he's unmatched lecturer.i like the way he articulates issues and also once you listen to him you would want to know what is the next word he will utter...

Inspiring. That’s the word.

I Have that Robin Williams skit in my head during this "Hit the Ball, get in the cart....Hit the Ball, get in the cart....Hit the Ball, get in the cart...." lol

the reason they don't want golf carts on the PGA tour is to allow the fans to walk the course with the golfers. If the players used carts they would have to wait for fans to walk to the next hole. The PGA just didn't want to say its all about the money from the fan base.

I'm surprised how Plato's 'Republic' hasn't been mentioned in regards to the idea of "fit for role". He's the one that promotes an utopic society in which all its members are assigned a role based on their abilities. From a theoretical perspective, he makes a good point that could be debated within this discussion.

Well, textbook definition says: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. I've treated golfers as a physical therapist, and I would say that they do get tested both physically and mentally during their rounds on the course. The most significant stressor however seems to be the chase for a score, not so much the walking element.

Un punto importante es determinar el nivel de la actividad, en contraste al trabajo, debido a que una actividad de diversión puede ser 1. Juego 2. Deporte o 3. Box. You dont play Box, you fight. En ese sentido, creo si es importante el considerar la fatiga como un elemento importante, caso contrario podrían jugar mini golf.

I'm a random guy from Holland and even though I find a lot of this stuff hard too understand, this series is very interesting and amusing ^^ keep it up Harvard & Mr. Sandel! :D

That is definitely true. He doesn't do that at all. As I've understood it, Socrates made those look as fools that thought they "knew it all". Wasn't this partially described in his defensive speech? (its been a while since I read it I must admit) Anyway, wherever this clever way of holding the class' attention and keeping it flowing like he does is excellent and very inspirational.

can any of you tell me if Sandal or Harvard is going to be releasing another similar series anytime soon or by the end of this year?

Thank you Micheal Sandler. Sir. For what u do and who u are . And yes I can drive and have valid drivers lic. The police said Thay don,t care what i think.

Prof. Sandel has exactly the same speech patterns as Sam Waterston - the same arc of vocal tone, the same accent, the same slight quaver and lisp.

2022 still watching these

Does Aristoteles define what it means "to fit" to a certain position? If I am physically and intellectually fitting but don't want to fit, does it still mean I fit?

@UTOG90 It's incredible. He seems to have absorbed his philosophical influences so completely he can reach to them for the right answer at any time. That's real skill.

Sandel elevates ideas of ultimate goodness and perfection, via Aristotle, and the concept of the telos, above more practical goals in resolving political issues, like reaching consensus, and determining what is a fair outcome of a particular political controversy. Aristotle's ideas are not favored by contemporary political philosophy discourse. It results in dysfunction, nonresolution and conflict in the body politic. I suggest taking a look at Richard Rorty's work, which entails a more enlightened view of these topics. Particularly good is his 1990 lecture at Carleton College, entitled Ethics of Principle vs Sensitivity. Search youtube for this.

If you make a sports challenge with prices you can choose what the rules are and not the government. You coukd reason that performance enhancing drugs should be allowed because one player has narcolepsy or that the ball has to be red and bigger for half blind players. You are advocating for equality and fairness over the basic reason this sport exists and the rules that bind the essence of this competition.

You ruin the internet! Can't wait for the next one.

I think it is necessary to check if the disabled golfer didn't use a cart when he was taking PGA golf pro test. If he had passed the test without using a golf cart, he would not be able to use that in the PGA games. However, if the situation had been reverse, he would be allowed to use a cart in the games.

The cart might be equipped with a measuring gadget and give a player an insight to what strategy could have an advantage. Maybe that sounds ridiculous but if you are able to rush through the course it's going to be an easy money grab because walking the course was or could disturb a player's comfort as they practice do they walk the course? So there's an added difficulty for the common players it's a game of patience huh?
