"A fascinating and wide-ranging collection of papers challenging all of us who do philosophy — in any of its subfields — to pay more sustained attention to the different disabled perspectives that may dislodge old habits of thought and invigorate new ones. * Miranda Fricker, Silver Professor of Philosophy, New York University, USA * Fresh, deep, and exceptional in its intersectional engagement, The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a field-defining contribution to philosophy. Shelley Tremain’s expansive collection of original work in philosophy of disability by philosophers of diverse backgrounds, approaches, and perspectives effectively demonstrates that philosophy of disability has come of age as a field worthy of recognition and respect. * Tracy Isaacs, Professor of Philosophy, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada * This trailblazing volume assembles cutting-edge work in philosophy of disability to offer a comprehensive and accessible overview of this new movement in philosophy. The volume firmly establishes philosophy of disability as a way of practicing philosophy that is central to all areas of philosophical inquiry. * Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Syracuse University, USA * This is a lively and wide-ranging collection of essays, offering an enlightening and poignant up-to-date snapshot of the philosophy of disability. The volume showcases a range of philosophical approaches and topics, examining disability and its relationship with philosophy from a variety of angles, which illuminate this new field. * Havi Carel, Professor of Philosophy, University of Bristol, UK, and Author of Illness: the Cry of the Flesh * The range in this collection is impressive, from the kinds of disabilities covered, to the domains to which disability connects. From chronic fatigue, substance use, deafness, neurodiversity, speech pathologies, and more, to an exploration of the concept of ""disability"" in Africana philosophy, in music theory, assisted reproduction, and more, everyone should find something to learn from this volume. * Barry Lam, Professor of Philosophy, UC Riverside, USA *"
