Michael Sandel: 失落了的民主辩论艺术

民主兴盛于公民的自由辩论，遗憾的是我们却疏于练习。在这个新颖有趣的演讲里，听众们参与辩论最高法院近年受理的一个案件（凯西.马丁状告美国职业高尔夫球协会），并从互动讨论中揭示出公平正义的关键本质。

Engaging in real democratic debate means grappling with the deeper moral questions that underlie hot-button issues like health care, Wall Street bailouts, and same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court's decision on whether a disabled golfer could use a cart hinged on defining the essential purpose of golf, not just fairness. By revisiting Aristotle’s idea that justice depends on understanding purpose and excellence, this approach invites richer, more respectful public discourse. Democracy flourishes when citizens bring their deepest convictions into the open, rather than leaving them at the door.
