존 롤스의 정의론과 도덕 교육

Abstract

This study aims to reveal that in the current morality curriculum and textbook descriptions, the teaching-learning content related to Rawls's theory of justice is focused on the second principle, so the intention of Rawls's theory of justice is not clearly revealed. And the purpose is to suggest an educational direction that can correct and supplement these problems in the next moral curriculum and textbook description. Rawls argues that the principles of justice as the basic structure of an ordered society are composed of the first principle that guarantees equal freedom, and the second principle that includes fair equality of opportunity and consideration for the worst-off, and that these principles have a lexical order. This hierarchy can be said to be a core concept of Rawls's theory of justice, which seeks to prevent the equal freedom of members of society from being violated due to the improvement of social and economic welfare. In addition, the second principle also serves to further enhance and enjoy the value of freedom sought to be guaranteed in the first principle. Despite the importance of the meaning of the first principle in Rawls's theory of justice, the meaning of the first principle or the content elements of the close relationship between the first and second principles are not highlighted and described in the current morality curriculum and textbook descriptions. Accordingly, this study seeks to reconstruct the theory of principles in Part 1 and the theory of institutions in Part 2 of Rawls's Theory of Justice, focusing on the relationship between the first and second principles. Based on these results, I would like to suggest the direction of Rawls's theory of justice education in the next morality curriculum, especially in the curriculum and textbook description of 『Life and Ethics』.
