Michael Sandel's Justice

I have always loved philosophy, but until recently, I thought that many philosophical ideas were impractical. However everything changed when I read and watched Harvard Professor Michael Sandel’s famous lecture ‘Justice.’ Professor Sandel examplified the need of philosophy by alluding to Aristotle’s concept of telos and Kant’s categorical imperative for possible ethical dilemmas in our daily lives, politics, policies, court decisions, science, and economics. I learned that without the ideas of the past philosophers, many of our current discussions would be unsubstantiated.
I have been attempting to comprehend the profoundness of the philosophers by reading the manuscripts such as Plato’s Republic and Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy
