Michael J. Sandel’s Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do? explores the meaning of justice and the challenges of answering the big questions posed in political philosophy through various examples. One of the first few questions he proposes is: “Does a just society seek to promote the virtue of its citizens? Or should law be neutral toward competing conceptions of virtue, so that citizens can be free to choose for themselves the best way to live?” (Sandel 9). A just society should promote a balance of virtue in its citizens as well as some personal freedom because there should be more equality and everyone should have the ability to make their own choices.
A just society should promote virtue because it would allow for people to be treated
