Michael J. Sandel will visit Wrocław University of Technology. The globally recognized philosopher will try to answer the questions: what money can’t buy and what justice means today?
This popular American thinker has gained significant renown thanks to his series of lectures entitled “Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do?” Thousands of students have listened to the lectures and the TV channels PBS, BBC, and the Japanese NHK decided to broadcast them. The lectures can be watched here.

Since 1980, Sandel has been teaching political philosophy at the Faculty of Political Science, International Relationships and Administration of Harvard University. He is sometimes called the “contemporary Socrates”.
A book by Sandel, which has the same title as his lectures, proved to be a bestseller. In the book, the philosopher considers the topics of e.g. rescuing of bankrupt banks, social inequalities, immigration, homosexual marriage, and religion in politics.
On 11 June at 11 AM it will be possible to listen to his lecture at Wrocław University of Technology, in the Students Culture Zone. The lecture will be delivered in English. Admittance is free.
