Disability Through the Lens of Justice

In Disability through the Lens of Justice, Jessica Begon considers how disabled individuals should be justly treated in the public policy of liberal democratic states. She seeks to create an account of disability which takes seriously the diversity of disabled lives, an approach that enables individuals to exercise broadly-specified opportunities. Disability through the Lens of Justice offers a contextual framework for considering the limitations that disability places on individuals. Specifically, those that prevent individuals from having control in certain domains of their life, by restricting the availability of acceptable options or the ability to choose between them. Begon argues that our theory of justice should be concerned with the lives individuals can lead, and not with whether their bodies and minds function typically. The problem that disability raises is not the mere fact of difference, but the ways in which that difference is accommodated (or not) and the limitations it may cause. In Disability Through the Lens of Justice, Begon offers a new framework to the disability and justice model. She argues that achieving justice does not require 'normalisation', or the elimination of difference, but through implementating a model which enables all individuals to control their lives as they choose.
