His course ‘Justice’ is the first Harvard course to be made freely available online and on television, being viewed by tens of millions worldwide. Michael has served on the President’s Council on Bioethics and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Michael’s books relate enduring themes of political philosophy to the most vexing moral and civic questions of our time. His most recent works are ‘The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?’ and ‘Democracy’s Discontent: A New Edition for Our Perilous Times’.
