Abstract

AbstractPeople with disabilities should, of course, enjoy the same right as others to a self-determined life of freedom and dignity as well as the same chances to attain such a life. The question is to what extent the concepts of justice in philosophy and theology take into account their interests and needs. In answering this question I shall refer to the theory of justice from John Rawls at first. In my second point I will focus on the criticism of this theory with regard to people with disabilities. Thirdly, at least in one respect the theological concepts of justice and love can supplement a needed element. Lastly, conclusions will be drawn with regard to an inclusive church.
