Description
Summary:This text argues that all citizens have the right to higher education. Education should not be allocated only to some, but to all those who choose to take it up. Using concepts and ideas from liberal political philosophy, Christopher Martin shows that access to educational goods plays a key role in helping mature citizens realize self-determined goals. Martin examines the implication of this justification of the right to higher education for questions of educational justice, political authority, distributive justice, civic education, and personal autonomy.
