Michael Sandel: The lost art of democratic debate
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.

philosophers psycholgosits and religious leaders need to be exterminated senior members of our society who regulate and govern our minds must all be purged especially those who govern ultradivine and superdivine authority. historians too.
Suddenly felt like I am watching his "justice" in the giant Harvard hall when he was giving the lecture
I love the way he teaches, asking questions and getting the audience to participate and examining the different responses. It's such a good way to learn rather than only lecture.

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.
I love this guy.... he never ceases to amaze me!

I would love if there was a discussion group like he was talking about. I have longed been saddened by the lack of real discussion in our society.

Let's start one!
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.
"Decision-making on major issues is now vested in international institutions which are so remote from public influence, that the public has no idea what's going on." Robert Barsky
the way you build and present an argument Professor Sandel is incredible! It's inspiring! Thank you for your work sir!
Would love witnessing Mr. Sandel here in India. You can sure make students back here explore with you the subjects of justice and morality.

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.
Beautifully done. The way he brings you through that was so logical and shows he's an excellent educator. Well done, sir!
It's awesome to hear the classical form of argumentation, and to see the incredible longevity of these philosophical traditions.

Sandel's lectures open up eyes to re-examine the established order and belief of the days.
Mr Michael Sandel, one of the greatest minds of the modern world!
BRILLIANT!!
And I am very glad that there are people who share his knowledge in such a nice way as Michael Sandel.
Brilliant lecturer. Brilliant academic. I would give my right arm to attend a lecture by this man💯🫶🏻😄
Simply The Best! Always trilled by his provocations and debates! Never stop!
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!
That was one heck of a passionate talk by Professor Sandel. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
MS: “Warren, are u a golfer?” W: “I’m not a golfer.” C: “And i am.” Cool lady 😆
I love and enjoy his conferences...

This is one of the most interesting videos I have listened to in a long time. Excellent :))
Eu amo esse cara, ele nunca cessa de me surpreender
I love how he interacts with the audience :)
Very interesting and engaging. He deserves praise.
Always ready for your lecture.. professor. :)
This needs more views, this guy is incredible!
Very good talk, kudos to him
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!!
what a great speaker.
HIGHLY INFORMATIVE

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.
Superb!
Phenomenological foundation for ethics!! Heck yes!
Sir, I am your biggest fan.. and your though for a "global classroom"..!! incredible ☺👍would love to be a part of such larger ambition..
I was making the same comment to my philosophy professor a few days ago on the lost art of democratic debate . He agreed
Instead it seems The lost art of democratic lecture . Loved it oll the way from Harverd to TeD
So good
He is brilliant!
he spoke of great wisdom , and makes me think twice on my strategy of arguing . (intro to philosophy 101)
A great man I ever seen I have just finished the justice course the right thing to do and it was an honor to take it
Who came here after the presidential "debate"? 😂
It's awesome 😊
how can I enjoy the global discussions by video meeting?
incredible.
I love how Sandel always gets the audience involved. His Harvard lectures are great.
I had to watch again right after the first because I wanted to hear him talk over and over again about democratic discourse. What a brilliant idea from an equally brilliant educator.
He’s a great thinker indeed
l love this man and the way he lecture.
you can watch his classes on-line:)
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...
i watch this guy for relaxation he has a very calm voice
Love this guy
Thank youtube Recommend🎉
The golfer question was a serendipity at it's best.
Here after His Justice lectures
I just watch him on TED stage , 11-year video. He really interacted and eyed-contact technique
zatiaľ je skoro december ale počasie 🔥 je teplé
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.
Nice
Good
Nice video
his wish about global classroom actually came true with edX.
@KingofNH I a gree. My only regret watching those is that I couldn't partake in any of the debates myself.
16:27 “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.”
All politicians should be required to a Michael Sandel class.
i love this guy
@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.
Salute to your idea sir and we are really benifinting from your thoughts
I think it can be pretty obvious who better flute players are. Music tests are an option. Ability to play certain things and also the ability to play certain things and in certain manners regarding how the original composer of the piece intended it to be heard.
i just got interested with any debate stuffs, and now im here in 2021 watching the 10 years ago video
@Hania454 he probably put a lot of thought into that lecture and into the examples. He was speaking to a new crowd, so mine as well start with his biggest and best punch.
@freesk8 i agree with your points... however the truth is that for many spectrum like say the pga they are able because of wealth resources and size to form governing influences that then create standards which other facilitators of the common activity fell overwhelming pressures comply say for instance contracts with course maintenance suppliers which in effect would make it impossible for other facilitators to compete run it primary function. in this case govt has a duty to intervene..
I am impossibly glad that Dan Brown brought me to this video
I would love to watch a game of football with this guy.
nice
Question at 15:00 just got some boys cancelled lol
Imagine if college lectures were more like this talk, instead of monotonous one-way communication or video watching.

Wow
And what might they be, could you provide an example?
Just a great moment at 8:35 onwards hahaha

We don't have political debates. We have people taking turns spouting talking points.
Please do so as China desperately needs this kind of talk.
This is kinda repetition after watching the "Justice with Michael Sandel"... Yet understandable, still a great argumenting with clarity.
Justice Scalia's argument is fallacious for a third and more important reason: golf on the PGA tour is a "productive activity". PGA players don't have other jobs, this is their source of income, and they devote many hours per day to it. In a situation where a man's applying for a job is at stake, to say that the essential nature of that job cannot be considered as the job has no actual purpose is ridiculous. The purpose is to win, and in so doing to gain money.
Was ein Glück, dass wir heute KZread haben. Ich finde es echt mega, solche Videos jederzeit kostenlos anschauen zu dürfen. Ein Hoch auf die Moderne!

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? John 14:2
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.
Nice contant
