Compared to social sciences and other humanistic disciplines in which the field of Disability Studies gained legitimacy in the 1980s and 1990s, especially in the Anglosphere, philosophy has been somewhat slow to engage with disability. Disability Studies is an interdisciplinary field that has benefited from the contribution of many different fields of research; sociology, art, anthropology, architecture, cultural and literary studies, law, history, postcolonial and decolonial studies, psychology, education, sport studies, science and technology studies, sexuality studies, etc., as shown by the variety of international handbooks published. A significant tenet of Disability Studies, which is relevant to mention here, is the remark that disability, even though not always explicitly addressed, pervades nonetheless culture, literature, and scientific endeavour – as a concept, image, or metaphorical crutch [continue]
