Abstract: This search aims to analyze the criticisms from Amartya Sen to the Theory of justice as equity, from John Rawls. The article is structured at first to clarify both authors. After, is necessary to analyze the failures pointed out by Amartya Sen, especially, about the centrality of theory on the primary goods as a way to reach the equity, an this is because the concession of certain primary goods does not necessarily results in a fairer society, in reason of the diversity of basic needs for each person; besides, is necessary to consider the impossibility of this theory to answer the hard cases. And, finally, is important to analyze John Rawl´s answer to Amartya Sen´s criticisms. To develop this analysis was used bibliographic critical review method, researching Amartya Sen´s and John Rawls bibliographic. At the end, it was concluded that both theories are founded on the same foundation, what is freedom, and it was proven that neither of them invalidates the other.
