{"product_id":"minority-body","title":"Minority Body","description":"Elizabeth Barnes argues compellingly that disability is primarily a social phenomenon—a way of being a minority, a way of facing social oppression, but not a way of being inherently or intrinsically worse off. This is how disability is understood in the Disability Rights and Disability Pride movements; but there is a massive disconnect with the way disability is typically viewed within analytic philosophy. The idea that disability is not inherently bad or sub-optimal is one that many philosophers treat with open skepticism, and sometimes even with scorn. The goal of this book is to articulate and defend a version of the view of disability that is common in the Disability Rights movement. Elizabeth Barnes argues that to be physically disabled is not to have a defective body, but simply to have a minority body.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319436714366,"sku":"NW9780198822417","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780198822417.jpg?v=1781085708","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/minority-body","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
