"Does the winner truly deserve their success?" with Michael Sandel | PKU Global Fellowship

On March 12, Professor #MichaelSandel from #HarvardUniversity delivered the final lecture of his three-part series at #PekingUniversity, offering a provocative critique of #Meritocracy. While often celebrated as a system of fairness and opportunity, Sandel argued that meritocracy can function as a form of tyranny, reinforcing inequality and fostering an illusion of deserved success. Challenging the audience's assumptions, he posed thought-provoking questions: Does the winner truly deserve their success? Should a world-famous pop star earn more than an inspiring high school teacher? These inquiries encouraged deep reflection on the moral and social implications of a system built on merit. Professor Bai Tongdong from #FudanUniversity's School of #Philosophy joined Sandel for a dynamic discussion, moderated by Associate Professor Chen Siyi from the #PKU Department of Philosophy. Together, they explored the pressures of achievement in modern society from the perspective of ordinary individuals. #PKUGlobalFellowship #OpenCourse #UniversityLecture #BeiDa #StudyatPKU #StudyinChina #PekingUniversity #Peking #University #北京大学 #北京 #大学 #Pekingers CONNECT WITH PEKING Web: http://english.pku.edu.cn Facebook:   / pku1898   LinkedIn:   / peking-university   TikTok:   / pekinguniversity1898   Instagram:   / pku1898   Twitter:   / pku1898   WeChat: PKU_Eng
