Sinopsis

What constitutes a justeducational provision for disabled learners? This book contributes to thedebate on justice and equality in education by dealing with the timely andcontentious issue of provision for children with disabilities and specialeducational needs. The topic of educational provision for these learners iscurrently controversial in almost all Western industrialized countries. Itinvolves arguments related to public policy as well as considerations ofeducational theory and practice, but philosophical issues have often beenneglected. Lorella Terzi employs a version of liberal egalitarianism in herresearch and makes a unique contribution to the current debate by presenting aphilosophical analysis of disability and special educational needs, and bydealing with the question of educational equality in terms of AmartyaSen?s capability approach. The book is a work of applied philosophy, whichbrings political and moral theory to bear on questions central not only tospecial and inclusive education, but also to educational theory and policy moregenerally.
