Michael Sandel：當民主辯論的技藝已消失

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.

Democracy flourishes when citizens bring their deepest convictions into the open, rather than leaving them at the door.
