Many accusations are made about the liberal nature of our

Below are 12 hours of lecture by Prof Micheal Sandel of
Harvard on the subject of justice. While
his process is pure philosophy, he routinely interweaves his questions with US
politics. Throughout the lectures he

He even brilliantly turned Locke into the enemy of the libertarian. I would defy anyone to listen to these
twelve hours of lecture, interesting and thought provoking as they are, and
tell me the two words missing in his dissertation. I would say that you could shorten the task
by listening any of them as they all use the same language(Bar perhaps the
first which is more introductory). They
start with Jeremy Bentham and end with a clarion call to utilitarianism. I
would suspect that William would be the only one to identify the two words that
are missing and why there omission is so vital to the questions he asked and
the political views of his students when he has finished. This is an all too regular example of what
