{"product_id":"the-minority-body","title":"The Minority Body","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573223686205,"sku":"9780198732587","price":95.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780198732587.jpg?v=1788513132","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-minority-body","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
