Foucault and Feminist Philosophy of Disability
Addresses misrepresentations of Foucault’s work within feminist philosophy and disability studies, offering a new feminist philosophy of disability
Book • 2017
Shelley Tremain's "Foucault and Feminist Philosophy of Disability" offers a critical examination of how disability is understood and addressed within philosophy and society.
The book challenges traditional philosophical assumptions about neutrality and objectivity, arguing that these concepts often mask power dynamics and marginalization.
Tremain integrates feminist perspectives and Foucault's work on power to analyze the ways in which disability is constructed and how this construction impacts disabled individuals.
She explores the exclusion of disabled philosophers from the discipline and the marginalization of critical work on disability.
The book ultimately calls for a reconceptualization of disability, moving away from medicalized and individualized views.
