Abstract

Christopher Martin argues that an interest in strong autonomy supports a right to debt-free higher education and that making tuition free is the best way of enacting that right. We argue that making higher education tuition free would, in the absence of other countervailing measure, maldistribute strong autonomy, even in ideal conditions. We also argue that even if Martin is right that higher education should be tuition-free in ideal circumstances, it does not follow that in prevailing, non-ideal, conditions higher education should be tuition-free.
高等教育权与理想理论与非理想决策的差距
克里斯托弗·马丁(Christopher Martin)认为,对强大自主权的兴趣支持了高等教育无债务的权利,而免除学费是实现这一权利的最佳途径。我们认为,在没有其他反补贴措施的情况下,即使在理想的情况下,高等教育免学费也会导致强烈的自主权分配不当。我们还认为,即使马丁认为高等教育在理想情况下应该免学费是正确的,也不能由此得出在普遍的、非理想的条件下高等教育应该免学费的结论。
