Abstract

Communitarianism is one of the most important critics of political liberalism. Communitarianism has raised a number of questions, especially about individualism and state’s neutrality in political and social issues. Therefore, this article tries briefly to study this approach. The findings show that communitarianism, unlike liberal individualism, requires state’s interference in political and social issues.
