This paper aims to enter into the controversy between liberals and communitarians regarding their conception of justice and their groundings. More specifically, the text discusses M. Sandel’s critique of J. Rawls’s liberalism. It points out several misconceptions in Sandel’s work in light of the significant clarifications and reformulations done by Rawls, in the books published after A Theory of Justice. The paper comments on Sandel’s critique of the disregard for moral issues, on the controversy about the priority of fairness over the good, and on the restriction of public reason’s scope.Downloads
