“A fascinating and wide-ranging collection of papers challenging all of us who do philosophy–in any of its subfields–to pay more 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, Canada

“This fantastic collection is both long overdue and yet ahead of its time. The essays not only press against the cherished norms of philosophy; they also refract similar dynamics and epistemic violences in other fields. The result is no less than a challenge to the ableist strictures of disciplinarity itself.”

–Jasbir K. Puar, Professor of Women’ and Gender Studies, Rutgers University, USA

“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

[Description of the book’s cover below: The book’s title appears on two lines across the top of the cover which is a salmon tone. The names of the editor and the author of the foreword appear in white letters at the bottom of the book. The publisher’s name is printed below the other names in white letters. At the centre, a vertical white rectangle is the background for a sculpture by fibre artist Judith Scott. The sculpture combines layers of shiny yarn in various colours including orange, pink, brown, and rust woven vertically on a large cylinder and horizontally around a smaller cylinder, as well as blue yarn woven around a protruding piece at the bottom of the sculpture. The sculpture seems to represent a body and head of a being sitting down, a being with one appendage, a fat person, or a little person.]
