Michael Sandel critically examines the principles of meritocracy and their implications for democratic governance. The lecture explores the tension between competence-based rule and representative government, drawing on themes from his work on justice.
Who should govern us? In the current climate of resentment against authority and elites, who are best equipped to rule our country? Should our governments always consist of the best and the brightest? Or should we rather aim at regimes that are representing the citizens both on a social-economic and an educational level? Learn from one of the world’s renowned philosophers Michael Sandel, who will shed his light on these and related questions.
