%X This paper presents Walzer¡¯s pluralist approach to justice as contrasted with standard egalitarian liberalist accounts such as Rawls¡¯s. Walzer¡¯s notion of ¡°complex equality¡± is discussed in order to see whether by defending the sort of socialism attached to it, he can be still situated within the liberal tradition of thought, or the so-called ¡°socialism of o liberal kind¡±, as he likes to term it, means a moving away from the basic liberal principles. In my view, since Walzer¡¯s conventionalist and contextualist account of justice is inextricably linked to some philosophical, metatheoretical suppositions, revealing them could be useful to illuminate such a problem.
