Mardi intime de la Chaire Hoover par Marie Sepulchre

« The rights of persons with disabilities are often ignored or jeopardised because they ‘cost too much’. This article proposes that a major reason for the shaky status of disability rights regards difficulties concerning their justification in terms of justice. Three conceptions of justice are examined – justice as equality between citizens, justice as solidarity because of our shared bodily vulnerability, and justice as minimising domination. Drawing on Ian Shapiro’s conception of non-domination, I conclude that justice as minimising domination provides the strongest arguments to claim justice when it comes to disability.»
