Abstract

Autonomy is an idea originated from that the enlightenment movement and different philosophers viewed it with their perceptions over centuries. Communitarianism is a broad social philosophy which is contrasting with individualism and liberalism in all fields including educational ends. This paper following literature review as research methodology gives the viewpoint of some communitarian and feminist theorists about educational aims and how it is distinct from liberal theory and also counts on personal opinion right through. The middle line progress is advocated that the communitarian educational sighting suppressed individualities but the ‘atomic individual’ trend without communal considerations is also not that could be supported, and combined procession should be devised to approach including autonomy as an aim of education.

Keywords: Communitarianism, Aim of Education, Educational Social Philosophy.
