In this paper, I elaborate on an alternative theory of justice to overcome the limitations of the theory of meritocratic justice that has become the leading theory of justice in today’s Korea, through a reinterpretation of the Confucian philosophy of Great Unity (大同). In particular, I suggest that the liberal theory of justice (for example, Rawlsian), which does not consider meritocratic factors such as merit and achievement, is insufficient in criticizing meritocracy and attempt to find out within the traditions of Confucian philosophy the new possibilities of contributive justice considering merit and accomplishment comprehensively. Further, I also consider the fact that contributive justice alone is insufficient in resolving the issues of social justice. I therefore underline that the ideal society of Great Unity involves the notion of contributive justice that embraces the principles of need and equality as well.
