“Relationality of human dignity” by Dr. Regina Schidel published

All people in our society should be considered equal in a fundamental sense. Discriminatory structures that restrict people’s value and participation undermine this normative principle.

In her book “Relationalität der Menschenwürde – Zum gerechtigkeitstheoretischen Status von Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen”, which was recently published by Campus Verlag in Open Access, Regina Schidel analyzes the form of discrimination of ableism, i.e. the discrimination of people with cognitive impairments, from a philosophical and socio-theoretical perspective. Based on an innovative interpretation of the concept of human dignity, she shows why we owe respect to all people and how we should transform the social, legal and political space to make this possible.
