A clip from BBC4’s Global Philosopher in which Prof. Sandel explores the philosophical justifications made for national borders.
Is there any moral distinction between a political refugee and an economic migrant?
If people have the right to exit a country, why not a right to enter?
Do nations have the right to protect the affluence of their citizens?
And is there such a thing as a ‘national identity’?
These are just some of the questions addressed by Prof. Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.
Using a pioneering state-of-the-art studio at the Harvard Business School, Michael Sandel is joined by 60 participants from over 30 countries in a truly global digital space.
