Michael J. Sandel
“Science can investigate nature and inquire into the empirical world, but it cannot answer moral questions or disprove
free will. That is because morality and freedom are not empirical concepts.
We can’t prove that they exist, but neither can we make sense of our moral lives without presupposing them.”
Michael J. Sandel, Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?
