The Disabled Contract

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The social contract tradition, brought back to life by philosopher John Rawls in the late twentieth century, contains values and assumptions that are dear to our liberal ethos. This book examines how this important philosophical tradition nevertheless tends to exclude people with severe intellectual disabilities from the realm of justice.
