This book, exploring the theoretical and practical implications of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of leading researchers in the areas of philosophy of disability, disability law, and disability policy. It addresses both the philosophical foundations of the CRPD as well as complex contemporary legal and policy debates. With a comprehensive introduction outlining key milestones in the development and implementation of the CRPD, the book addresses the most fundamental questions the CRPD raises for the way we think about human rights, law, and disability, and how we operationalize rights in the legal and policy domains. The contributors traverse themes of personhood, equality, capacity, and intersectionality, explore the dilemmas involved in translating these concepts in practice, and reflect on the promises and limitations of the human rights project.

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.

Der Zusammenhang zwischen liberaler Demokratie als Staats- und Lebensform, politischer und oekologischer Bildung und einer angemessenen Einrichtung und Neuausrichtung menschlicher Naturverhaltnisse im Lichte des Klimawandels ist nicht zuletzt auf Grund der Bewegung "Fridays for Future" ein Thema, das in der aktuellen oeffentlichen Selbstverstandigung dauerprasent ist. Zugleich ist dieser Konnex mit Grundsatzfragen verbunden, die das Selbstverstandnis liberaler Demokratien und ihrer Erziehungs- und Bildungssysteme in ihrem normativen Kern betreffen. In dem Band werden unterschiedliche miteinander verschrankte Problemdimensionen des Zusammenhangs zwischen Bildung, Demokratie und Klimawandel theoretisch und empirisch rekonstruiert, analysiert und diskutiert.
