The Global Philosopher: Should Borders Matter?
Manage episode 165022118 series 1301299
Michael Sandel explores the philosophical justifications made for national borders. Using a pioneering state-of-the-art studio at the Harvard Business School, Professor Sandel is joined by 60 participants from over 30 countries in a truly global digital space.
Is there any moral distinction between a political refugee and an economic migrant? If people have the right to exit a country, why not a right to enter? Do nations have the right to protect the affluence of their citizens? And is there such a thing as a 'national identity'?
These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.
