Michael J. Sandel's course " Justice " is one of Harvard 's most popular and influential. Nearly a thousand students pack the university's campus amphitheater to hear Sandel connect major philosophical problems with mundane, everyday matters. These are thought-provoking topics that, brought together in this book, offer the reader the same exciting journey that draws Harvard students: same-sex marriage, assisted suicide, abortion, immigration, taxes, the place of religion in politics, the moral limits of markets.

Ten years after its publication in Brazil , *Justice: What It Means to Do the Right Thing* became a bestseller with dozens of reprints and amassed a legion of readers in the country. The work's reception was so great that its author, Michael J. Sandel, an influential and renowned Harvard professor, visited Brazil more than once and made important connections there.

The new—and timely—content in this commemorative edition is precisely a powerful dialogue between the author and Minister Luís Roberto Barroso about moral and ethical dilemmas that affect society as a whole. Throughout the book, Sandel addresses the challenge of reflecting on these major conflicts. Instead of providing ready-made answers, the author presents practical, everyday cases that highlight how philosophy can help each person's understanding of justice.
