Respecting Disability: Attitudes, Ideals, and Relationships: Oxford Studies in Disability Ethics and Society

Autor Adam Cureton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2026
Proper treatment of people with disabilities should not incur any head scratching. Yet for many, it requires a multifaceted and thoroughly considered approach. Respecting people with disabilities can involve a plethora of considerations and approaches to social relations and care: how we interact with them in interpersonal contexts, what kinds of attitudes we have toward them, how we relate with them, and how people with disabilities regard and treat ourselves. Drawing on the author's own perspective and experiences as a disabled person, Adam Cureton emphasizes the importance of relationships, ideals, virtues, and attitudes in how we approach ethical issues that concern disability, and explores the nature and moral importance of respect for people with disabilities and of respect for ourselves. The book explores ways to understand and evaluate one's own disability and how to maintain one's self-respect in the face of disparaging social pressures. It also addresses unique moral challenges that disabled people face and characterizes some guiding moral ideals of self-respect for navigating these complex situations. Cureton emphasizes the importance of expressing respect for disabled people. By distinguishing several different kinds of respect for people with disabilities, he shows how many of the common attitudes that even well-meaning people have towards those with disabilities are complicated and morally problematic. Through these intricacies, he charts a nuanced path forward. This book speaks to disabled people and others with experience of disability to help people understand and evaluate the many ways we can properly respect disability.

Recenzii

Until now, books on disability have tended to reveal their authors' activist passions, their deep empathy for the extraordinary lives of disabled people, or both. This refreshing, foundationally premise-changing work by Cureton (Univ. of Tennessee) shifts that focus, concentrating instead on the everyday lives and struggles of disabled people, and on the everyday ethics that everyone, disabled or not, should bring to bear on those practical, day-to-day experiences... Written from a strong firsthand perspective, this book will consolidate readers' moral reasoning and practical engagement with the world of persons with disabilities. This volume is a treasure.
