This book presents the early existential phenomenology of Martin
Heidegger as a way to reformulate academic disability studies and
activist disability politics. It redresses the almost categorical
neglect of human difference in the philosophy of Heidegger. It
proceeds by applying a revised version of his phenomenology to
social policy aimed to get disabled persons to work and to methods
in rehabilitation science intended to be more 'client friendly'.
Phenomenological philosophy is extended to the topic of disability,
while, at the same time, two key concerns facing disability studies
are addressed: the roles of capitalism in disablement, and of
medical practice in the lives of disabled persons. By reframing
disability as a lived way of being in the world, rather than bodily
malfunction, the book asks how we might rethink medicine and
capitalism in democratic ways. It aims to transform Heidegger's
work in light of his troubling politics to produce a democratic
social theory of human difference.
