Reviews

In this thoughtfully assembled volume on philosophical issues in disability and disadvantage, editors Kimberley Brownlee and Adam Cureton have brought together an exciting mix of established and up and coming philosophers to address issues ranging from how to understand disability to whether and when to create children with disabilities Rebecca L. Walker, Mind Disability studies is an exciting and expanding field within philosophy and bioethics, and anyone interested in this rich area of research will find rewarding reading in this volume Jeffrey Blustein, Journal of Moral Philosophy

Showing rare selflessness, the editors have not included their own work in the volume, and have avoided a lengthy introduction, sticking largely to a summary of the topics addressed by the volume as a whole and a summary of the individual contributions. Rebecca L. Walker, Mind
