After providing a representative sampling of competing philosophical approaches to the conceptualization of disability as such, the volume goes on to address such themes as the complex interplay between disability and quality of life, questions of social justice as it relates to disability, and the personal dimensions of the disability experience. By explicitly locating the discussion of various applied ethical questions within the broader theoretical context of how disability is best conceptualized, the volume seeks to bridge the gap between abstract philosophical musings about the nature of disease, illness and disability found in much of the philosophy of medicine literature, on the one hand, and the comparatively concrete but less philosophical discourse frequently encountered in much of the disability studies literature. It also critically examines various claims advanced by disability advocates, as well as those of their critics. In bringing together leading scholars in the fields of moral theory, bioethics, and disability studies, this volume makes a unique contribution to the scholarly literature, while also offering a valuable resource to instructors and students interested in a text that critically examines and assesses various approaches to some of the most vexing problems in contemporary social and political philosophy. 410 0$aPhilosophy and Medicine,$x0376-7418 ;$v104 606 $aSociology 606 $aMedicine 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aMedicine?Philosophy 606 $aMedical ethics 606 $aPolitical philosophy 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aMedicine/Public Health, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007 606 $aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000 606 $aPhilosophy of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34030 606 $aTheory of Medicine/Bioethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H66000 606 $aPolitical Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 0$aMedicine?Philosophy. 615 0$aMedical ethics. 615 0$aPolitical philosophy. 615 14$aSociology, general. 615 24$aMedicine/Public Health, general. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Medicine. 615 24$aTheory of Medicine/Bioethics. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 676 $a362.401 702 $aRalston$b D.
