The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability
The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a revolutionary collection encompassing the most innovative and insurgent work in philosophy of disability. Edited and anthologized by disabled philosopher Shelley Lynn Tremain, this book challenges how disability has historically been represented and understood in philosophy: it critically undermines the detrimental assumptions that various subfields of philosophy produce; resists the institutionalized ableism of academia to which these assumptions contribute; and boldly articulates new anti-ableist, anti-sexist, anti-racist, queer, anti-capitalist, anti-carceral, and decolonial insights and perspectives that counter these assumptions.

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Disability
Disability raises profound and fundamental issues: questions about human embodiment and well-being; dignity, respect, justice and equality; personal and social identity. It raises pressing questions for educational, health, reproductive, and technology policy, and confronts the scope and direction of the human and civil rights movements. Yet it is only recently that disability has become the subject of the sustained and rigorous philosophical inquiry that it deserves. The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Disability is the first comprehensive volume on the subject. The volume's contents range from debates over the definition of disability to the challenges posed by disability for justice and...
Disorientation and Moral Life
This book is a philosophical exploration of disorientation and its significance for action. Disorientations are human experiences of losing one's bearings, such that life is disrupted and it is not clear how to go on. In the face of life experiences like trauma, grief, illness, migration, education, queer identification, and consciousness raising, individuals can be deeply disoriented. These and other disorientations are not rare. Although disorientations can be common and powerful parts of individuals' lives, they remain uncharacterized by Western philosophers, and overlooked by ethicists. Disorientations can paralyze, overwhelm, embitter, and misdirect moral agents, and moral philosophy an...
Disability/postmodernity
This text looks at the study of disablity within the context of the "postmodern" world of the 21st century. The authors aim to demystify the concept of postmodernity and to suggest ways in which it fosters a holistic approach to the study of disability.
The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability
Philosophies of Disability seeks to explore disability not as a closed of field of study but as a set of experiences and ways of thinking that intersect with almost every aspect of how we live today. Disability is not separate from other processes of marginalisation and this book emphasises intersectional thinking that engages with disability and other urgent issues including race, gender, trans experience, animals and other beings, ageism, neurodiversity, immigration, prisons and fatness. Taking seriously the idea that disability is an issue of social justice, this book is a work of important political philosophy, one that provides a guide to those interested in learning more about how ableism, exclusion and normative values are damaging not only to individual lives but the whole social fabric, the lives of animals and the environment. A crucial guide to oppositional thinking from an international, intersectional and inclusive collection of writers, Philosophies of Disability asks us to affirm otherness and think anew about what philosophy might be.
