Michael J. Sandel (born March 5, 1953) is an American political philosopher and a professor at Harvard University. He is best known for the Harvard course 'Justice' which is available to view online, and for his critique of Rawls' A Theory of Justice in his Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (1982). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002.[1]

Education
Born in Minneapolis to a Jewish family, Sandel moved to Los Angeles at the age of thirteen. He was the president of his senior class at Palisades High School in 1971 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brandeis University in 1975, and received his doctorate from Balliol College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, where he studied under Charles Taylor.
Philosophical views
Sandel subscribes to a certain version of communitarianism (although he is uncomfortable with the label), and in this vein he is perhaps best known for his critique of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice. Rawls' argument depends on the assumption of the veil of ignorance, which he claims allows us to become "unencumbered selves".
Sandel's view is that we are by nature encumbered to an extent that makes it impossible even in the hypothetical to have such a veil. Some examples of such ties are the ties we make with our families, which we do not make by conscious choice but are born with them already attached. Because they are not consciously applied, these ties are impossible to separate from someone. Sandel believes that only a less-restrictive, looser version of the veil of ignorance can be possible. Rawls's argument, however, depends on the fact that the veil is restrictive enough that we make decisions without knowing who will be affected by these decisions, which of course is impossible if we are already attached to people in the world.
Teaching
Justice
Sandel has taught the famous "Justice"[2] course at Harvard for two decades. More than 15,000 students have taken the course, making it one of the most highly attended in Harvard's history. The fall 2007 class was the largest ever at Harvard, with a total of 1,115 students.[3] The fall 2005 course was recorded, and is offered online for students through the Harvard Extension School. An abridged form of this recording is now a 12-episode TV series, Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?, in a coproduction of WGBH and Harvard University. Episodes are available on the Justice with Michael Sandel website.[4][5] There is also an accompanying book Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?, and the sourcebook of readings Justice: A Reader.
The popularity of the show is attributed to the discussion-oriented format (the Socratic method) – rather than recitation and memorization of facts – and to Sandel's engaging style, incorporating context into discussion – for example, starting one lecture with a discussion of the ethics of ticket scalping.[6]
The BBC broadcast eight 30-minute segments from the series on BBC Four starting on 25 January 2011.[7]
Other teaching
Sandel also co-teaches with Douglas Melton "Ethics and Biotechnology", a seminar considering the ethical implications of a variety of biotechnological procedures and possibilities.
Authorship
Sandel is the author of multiple publications including Democracy's Discontent and Public Philosophy. His Public Philosophy is a collection of his own previously published essays, examining the role of morality and justice in American political life. He offers commentary on the roles of moral values and civic community in the American electoral process – a much-debated aspect of the 2004 U.S. election cycle and current political discussion.
Michael Sandel gave the 2009 Reith Lectures on "A New Citizenship" on BBC Radio, addressing the 'prospect for a new politics of the common good'.[8] The lectures were delivered in London on May 18, Oxford on May 21, Newcastle on May 26 and Washington, D.C. in early June.[9]
Public service
Sandel served on the George W. Bush administration's President's Council on Bioethics.
2009 immigration commentary
In 2009, Sandel criticized Nobel Prize-winning economist Gary Becker's free-market immigration proposal. This proposed solution entailed imposing refugee quotas on nations according to their wealth and then allowing countries to pay other, poorer countries to take refugees allotted under their quota.[10] Sandel concludes that "a market in refugees changes our view of who refugees are and how they should be treated. It encourages the participants — the buyers, the sellers and also those whose asylum is being haggled over — to think of refugees as burdens to be unloaded or as revenue sources rather than as human beings in peril."[11]
Montgomery Burns character
There is an urban legend that Sandel was the inspiration for the Montgomery Burns character in The Simpsons. The joke, of course, is that Sandel is the anti-Burns: a moral philosopher who has devoted his life to pondering what is the right thing to do. The rumor derives from the facts that (1) several future writers for Fox’s “Simpsons” likely took his popular course "Justice" at Harvard, (2) Sandel used to make Mr. Burns' hand gesture (before Mr. Burns did), and (3) he shares a receding hairline with the evil-minded cartoon character.[12][13] The connection has been denied by Simpsons writers.[14]
