The Question of Logodicy

Philosophical Perspectives on Intellectual Disability

From a philosophical perspective, the question of „intellectual disability“ is a kind of „logodicy“: because philosophy pursues a reason-centered view of human beings, people classified as „intellectually disabled“ pose a problem.

This article examines a logocentric logic of separation that marginalizes these people and discursively instrumentalizes them. Against this, it proposes to critically question philosophical categorizations themselves in terms of their social functionality, thereby breaking them down.
