  • Dr M.Sandel I’m a totally fascinated follower. You captured me can’t stop listening. Every student you have taught and motivated will and are now catalyst wherever they live and work. Your labor, your speeches and analysis of our current social and political world affairs are ever enlightening. Every one could understand your simple clear speeches. I hope Trump and other world leaders would follow your programs and mirror themselves in the light of your principles. Thank you and more power and good health.

    Michael is creating future for common good for common peoples. In true sense he is our future philosopher. But now the question is how we can create ethics and moral values for days to come AI based society. Because it seems in comming days there will be straight competition between corbon based human beings, that we are and the sylcon based cheap that is Ai and robotic technology. I mant a take from Michael J. Sandel.Mohan singh, Bharat, Varanasi. Thanks

  • Wow professor, u understand what I objected 3 years ago while watching one of the political discussions about climate change......
  • @dongweihuo7888
    "I think there is a difference between factual truth and moral or spiritual or rhetorical truth... The reason we disagree about facts is that we disagree about the moral questions in politics, not the other way around." As always, Professor Sandel can summarize in one line something that may take others an essay to summarize
  • Hi the truth is always available for us to level our life to the standard situations !
  • @MrFoxtroop211
    In evaluating an individual's character, we can look at both absolute truths and subjective truths that are evident in their circumstances and actions. Absolute truths provide objective standards for judging character - does the person uphold immutable moral principles? Do they demonstrate virtues like honesty and integrity consistently? Absolute truths allow us to assess character against fixed ethical benchmarks. Subjective truths provide contextual details - how does this person respond in difficult situations given their upbringing and life experiences? What insights do we gain from understanding their unique perspectives and motivations? Subjective truths give us deeper comprehension of the nuances that shape character within a given environment. By gathering facts from a person's circumstances, background, and conduct, we can analyze both the absolute and subjective truths revealed through their choices and behaviors. These two vantage points work together to provide a fuller picture of someone's character. The absolute demonstrates how they align with ethical absolutes while the subjective shows how they apply values within their societal and personal context.

  • We , as a human beings, acting 🎭 like the others particles which exists, and quantum worlds will helping us to identify our behaviour’s and fixed the bad behaviours!
  • Truth is eternal and timeless, without beginning or end. Deception had a beginning and will have an ending too. This is not theory or belief, but absolute fact.

  • Any decade humans have the opportunity to move forward, Martin Luther king, is belongs to the past now, but his information exists, and learned, and continues!
  • People are not aware of the political facts, because, it’s so difficult to understand, the critical movement, and judgment, is hard too !
