PH 235 - The Philosophy of Disability

Disability is a reality of the human condition. Yet, philosophers have only started to investigate the meaning of disability within the last decade. What, then, is a disability? What is disability itself? Is it a biological given, a social construction, or a mere difference? How does disability affect the lives of humans? This course will examine these questions and more from historical and contemporary thinkers in disability studies.
