Abstract

It can be observed that part of the Communitarian critique to conception of justice in John Rawls focuses on the relationship between individual and society in your book A Theory of Justice. The objective of this paper is from the communitarian critique on Rawls to present the model he developed in A Theory of Justice, seeking to emphasize the strong collectivist component of its theoretical formulation. For organization purposes we built the work for discussing and answer the following questions: What Rawls meant by Justice? A Theory of Justice prescinds of the community? There is a conflict between individual and society in this context? What is the importance of this debate for the external validity of theoretical and institutional model Rawlsian?
