Igualdad de oportunidades y autonomía familiar

this essay analyzes the problem of the normative incompatibility between two principles which are widely accepted by liberals -the principle of equality of opportunities and that of family autonomy- and this within the framework of rawls′s theory of justice. after specifying different ways in which the autonomy of the family necessarily leads to inequality of opportunities between individuals, i examine two different solutions suggested by rawls in a theory of justice and i intend to demonstrate why they are wrong.
