Intellectual Disabilities: Dehumanization and a New Moral Community evaluates the role of psychology, philosophy, and education in shaping cultural views toward people with intellectual disabilities. With an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the social construction of intellectual disability, this book has value for moral philosophers, psychologists, educators, and others invested in issues of intellectual disability. The authors offer evidence and support for a more expansive view of moral engagement, which values diversity over hierarchy and community over individual rationality.
