Liberalism and the limits of justice

Exploring the foundations of a liberal society, the book examines the challenge of governing without imposing a singular vision of the good life. It questions whether principles of justice can exist independently of specific values, and the implications of this for justice as both a moral and political ideal. Michael Sandel provides a critical analysis of contemporary liberalism, enhanced in this edition with a new introduction and a final chapter addressing John Rawls' later work.
