Reassessing philosophical views of intellectual disability, Licia Carlson shows how we can affirm the dignity and worth of intellectually disabled people first by ending comparisons to nonhuman animals and then by confronting our fears and discomforts. Carlson presents the complex history of ideas about cognitive disability, the treatment of intellectually disabled people, and social and cultural reactions to them. Sensitive and clearly argued, this book offers new insights on recent trends in disability studies and philosophy. 606 $aIntellectual disability$xPhilosophy 606 $aIntellectual disability$xSocial aspects 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities 606 $aEthics 606 $aIntellectual disability 615 0$aIntellectual disability$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aIntellectual disability$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aIntellectual disability. 676 $a616.8588 700 $aCarlson$b Licia$f1970-$01609081 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810795703321 996 $aThe faces of intellectual disability$93936137 997 $aUNINA
