Throughout the history of philosophy, there have been questions that the most important of which can be formulated and identified around the concept of justice and freedom. In the twentieth century, the relationship between justice and freedom became more and more important for human societies, and the most important scientific works addressed it. The theory of justice proposed by John Rawls in this regard became the focus of scientific discussions and aroused the concern of politicians. Robert Nozick defended justice as entitlement in Rawls' critique of justice as fairness. They first introduced the welfare state and second the minimal government as eligible for justice in societies. Due to this, other dualities such as individual rights/ collective good, equal status /equal opportunity, need/ merit, etc. were proposed. In this article, after introducing the sections of the book Statelessness, Government and Utopia, an attempt is made to analyze Nozick's criticisms of John Rawls, followed by a critical re-reading of some objections to the idea of entitlement justice and Nozick's minimal government.

Numerous works and research have been written and published regarding the study and critique of the situation in the Middle East region. One of the most important analytical approaches in this regard is the analysis of identity conflicts. Regional and international thinkers and experts have analyzed the current situation in the Middle East from this perspective. Amin Maalouf, a Lebanese-French national, focuses on the situation in the region and, consequently, the situation in the contemporary world from the perspective of identity conflicts. This article is dedicated to the review and critique of the book “Deadly Identities” and consequently the well-known study approach in his other works. A review of the book “Deadly Identities” shows that Ma’louf takes a critical approach to the situation of identity confrontations and traces the current situation in the Middle East to the historical period of the Crusades and the main reason for today's situation is introducing the identity “insiders”. Another elimination causes dissatisfaction on the part of individuals, peoples and tribes in different nations and creates violence, terror, war, and suicide attempts.

How can we encounter ethnic diversities in our society? How can we behave towards others? What is a fairer way? These questions are inevitably vital when we ask about social justice and when we are faced with the reality of diversity in contemporary societies. Since one of the most important parts of this reality is rooted in different identities that we recognize in everyday life, this article focuses on the problem of “identity justice” in a multicultural society and tries to find the relatively best possible answers through the perspective of Kymlicka in Multicultural Citizenship. Kymlicka, as a liberal thinker, describes the condition in which different ethnic and racial groups can live together fairly. His arguments show us a theoretical framework for protection of diversity from a liberal perspective and express serious concern over the political and sociological issues such as the connection between the individual and culture, group’s rights, freedom, and justice. This framework seems to be a political and theoretical guideline for public policy regarding the problematic connection between justice and identity which is called “identity justice” in this article.
