摘要

This review essay critically examines Jessica Begon’s Disability Through the Lens of Justice, with a particular focus on her novel definition of disability. Begon challenges traditional models and offers a normative account that conceptualizes disability as a restriction of entitlements—capabilities that individuals are entitled to as a matter of justice. Her account considers disability as arising from the interaction of impairments with the social and political environment, and she emphasizes that disability is an injustice that restricts valuable opportunities that enable people to control important domains of their lives. This review essay highlights some problems stemming from Begon’s application of a normative conception of disability.
