This collection of original essays, from both established scholars
and newcomers, takes up a recent debate in philosophy, sociology,
and disability studies on whether disability is intrinsically a
harm that lowers a person's quality of life. While this is a new
question in disability scholarship, it also touches on one of the
oldest philosophical questions: what is the good human life?
Historically, philosophers have not been interested in the topic of
disability, and when they are it is usually only in relation to
questions such as euthanasia, abortion, or the moral status of
disabled people. Consequently disability has been either ignored by
moral and political philosophers or simply equated with a bad human
life, a life not worth living. This collection takes up the
challenge that disability poses to basic questions of political
philosophy and bioethics, among others, by focusing on fundamental
issues and practical implications of the relationship between
disability and the good human life.
