{"product_id":"arguing-about-disability-kristjana-kristiansen-9780415455954","title":"Arguing about Disability: Philosophical Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eDisability is a thorny and muddled concept - especially in the field of disability studies - and social accounts contest with more traditional biologically based approaches in highly politicized debates. Sustained theoretical scrutiny has sometimes been lost amongst the controversy and philosophical issues have often been overlooked in favour of the sociological. \u003cem\u003eArguing about Disability\u003c\/em\u003e fills that gap by offering analysis and debate concerning the moral nature of institutions, policy and practice, and their significance for disabled people and society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering collection is divided into three sections covering definitions and theories of disability; disabled people in society and applied ethics. Each contributor - drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds including disability studies, sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, law and health science - uses a philosophical framework to explore a central issue in disability studies. The issues discussed include personhood, disability as a phenomenon, social justice, discrimination and inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding an overview of the intersection of disability studies and philosophical ethics, \u003cem\u003eArguing about Disability\u003c\/em\u003e is a truly interdisciplinary undertaking. It will be invaluable for all academics and students with an interest in disability studies or applied ethics, as well as disability activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristjana Kristiansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415455952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415455954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2009 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 153","brand":"Kristjana Kristiansen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094088700159,"sku":"9780415455954","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e4b2189-a660-47fa-bfe2-a7a04831f296.jpg?v=1724843650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arguing-about-disability-kristjana-kristiansen-9780415455954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
