Abstract

Four hundred euro tickets for his conferences, fifteen thousand students attending his courses at Harvard, one of the university podcasts with the highest number of downloads. Everybody follows Michael Sandel. Is it because of his Socratic approach (noticeable in the interview), the title of his course ("Justice") or his latest book "What Money Can't Buy" (best seller in the USA)? Whatever it is, today Michael Sandel is one of the most popular philosophers. Moral philosopher and leading figure of communitarianism, in recent years he has analyzed the issue of commodification of almost every aspect of life, investigating the subtle and deep transformation of our values and ethics.
