I had a chance to talk with a post-graduate philosophy student. We told about Michael Sandel.
I explained that there is some boom for him, because he visited Japan to teach us the "Justice."
Of course, I tried to apply the lecture. Unfortunately I couldn't attend it, so watched in TV program.

We agreed that his lecture is attractive, because he tries to connect philosophy and real issue. For example, "Ichiro's salary is higher than President Odama, is it fair?"

"When you drove a train that brake is broken, you could only save passengers or mechanics on the track. Which do you choose?"
There is no simple answer for those complicated problems. Which you choose or whether agree or disagree depends on a individual sense of worth. We need to think deeply for complicated problems. It is because we don't have a time when we just face to these emergency situation.

Communication with people whose major is different is important for us to keep our mind broaden.
