Relationality of human dignity. On the status of people with cognitive impairments in terms of justice theory

Book lɔ:ntʃ

With: Dr. Regina Schidel (member of the research initiative ConTrut at the Research Center “Normative Orders” at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main)

Campus Publishing 2023

All people in our society should be considered equal in a fundamental sense. Discrimination structures that restrict people’s value and participation undermine this normative principle. Regina Schidel analyzes the discriminatory form 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 as inhabitants of a divided world. This leads to radical demands on how we should transform the social, legal and political space.
