Care, Capabilities and disability: what ethiCs for an inClusive soCiety?

Abstract

The purpose of this contribution is to show the way in which confronting theories
of justice and democracy with the question of disability constrains the former to
reconsider their contractarian groundings and to build up a frame that takes into
account the effective situation of the most vulnerable persons. In this perspective,
the approach through capabilities, while it does appear as an advance in the
taking into considerations the situation of these persons and their specific
capacity, requires nevertheless a futher radicalization of this consideration and
analysis, as well as, the construction of an ethical and political framework that
could take account of the required conditions for an effective participation of the
disabled persons in the definition of their individual and collective project.
