Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author studies the problem of justice in education. He examines only some theoretical aspects of this phenomenon. This paper surveys a dispute over the idea of justice in contemporary political philosophy and education. The author develops an overall understanding of how the idea of justice can be used in relation to education. He presents a few philosophical perspectives connected with the idea of justice and tries to find a good way to move around the map of different positions associated with living in plural society. The vision of the plural public sphere generates the necessity to answer the question connected with the status of moral categories that we use. The category of justice might be a good example. The author attempts to find a way how to live in the situation of constant moral conflict and analyzes the implications of particular conceptions of social justice for education and common life in society.
