has joined HWA for exclusive representation.

Harvard political philosopher and bestselling author Michael Sandel has been described as a “philosopher with the global profile of a rock star.” Renowned for leading lively Socratic debates on the most vexing moral and civic questions of our time, Sandel shows how we can think our way through the hard choices we face in politics, business, and our everyday lives.

Sandel’s course “Justice,” one of the most popular in Harvard’s history, is freely available online and has been viewed by tens of millions worldwide. In television programs and video series, including his BBC series The Global Philosopher, Sandel explores tech ethics, markets and morals, climate change, free speech, and other topical issues.

In his live events, Sandel leads audiences in a journey of moral and civic reflection, showing how reasoned debate, leavened with humor and mutual respect, can produce dialogue across our differences. His renowned interactive public lectures--to audiences as large as 14,000--leave participants energized, engaged, and hopeful for the future of democracy.

Michael Sandel receives consistent rave reviews for his live events:

-How To Academy: “It was sensational. He's sensational. Wow. I'm inundated with emails saying how wonderful the evening was.”

-University of Mississippi: "Sandel engaged our students with verve, passion and grace... students continued the debate well into the next day. Kudos to Professor Sandel for a great evening!"

-The ASAN Institute for Policy Studies: "Professor Sandel’s visit to Seoul was a marvelous success. He was like a rock star! Some 4,500 people packed the auditorium for his public lecture. It was the biggest auditorium in Seoul, and I’m sure had we had a bigger one, we would have filled that, too."
