The chapters in Part I of this volume, “Disability: Definitions and Theories,” might just as easily be characterized as “The Perils of ‘Normal.’” Using philosophical methods, each of the chapters seeks to undermine assumptions made by those without disabilities about the moral lives of those with disabilities.
