The aim of this study is to examine the concept of equality presented by Michael Walzer within the framework of spheres of justice theory. Walzer’s view of justice, which he suggested based on the distinction between simple and complex equality, was brought to the foreground of the study's ideas. Walzer depicts both classical utilitarianism and Rawls' theory of justice as examples of simple equality. According to him, understandings of justice put forward on the basis of simple equality ignore particularity and the ideas that spheres of justice should be autonomous. In this direction, Walzer enounces the sphere of justice theory, which supportes particularity and that the spheres of justice should be autonomous. In the study, it has been shown that Walzer's critique of Rawls is wrong in a certain respect. Ralws' prioritization of the first principle of justice over the second and the idea that freedoms are inviolable fit Walzer's complex idea of equality. However, since Walzer focused only on Ralws' second principle of justice (the state's regulation of distributive justice for the benefit of at least advantaged), he criticized his ideas for being simple equality. In the study, it has also been tried to show that the concept of equality put forward by Walzer is a philosophy that pays attention to cultures and historical context, which gives meaning to social good. According to Walzer, there should be autonomy in each spheres of justice. This requires an accurate assessment of the prevailing social good in that area. That is, each social good or set of good should be distributed in such a way that it applies to a particular area. Therefore Walzer demands relative autonomy for spheres of justice. The complex conception of equality is one that advocates this kind of autonomy among the spheres of justice. In the study, Walzer's concept of equality has been criticized on the grounds that it contains the danger of cultural relativism and is insufficient in solving problems in the area of global justice.
