Description

Julie E. Maybee uses a unique combination of a comprehensive theory--the three-bodies approach--and concrete examples to trace the social construction of disability and impairment in Western societies and to suggest how disability and impairment may be unmade to better understand and serve those in the community.

Through an examination of the history disability as well as of a variety of interdisciplinary sources—disability studies, philosophy, African studies and philosophy, philosophy of science, sociology, medical sociology, anthropology, social work and rehabilitation medicine—Maybee offers a wide-ranging philosophical analysis of existing discourse while developing a new methodology for ongoing debates.
