Abstract

The current study investigates the concept of educational justice as well as principles for the distribution of educational good from the view points of John Rawls as the representative of liberalism and Michacl Walzer as the representative of communitarianism. To this end, the current study has applied methods of conceptual analysis as well as comparative analysis. The obtained results show that educational justice has had different meanings and educational implications in various cultures and times. John Rawls’ royalty to the doctorine of egalitarian liberalism and justice principles posed by him has resulted in a notable status for individuality and equality. Moreover, Walzer’s preference of the society to the individual marks him as a true supporter of the public and equal education in the primary steps of education.
