The Life Worth Living: Disability, Pain, and Morality, Joel Michael Reynolds.

"The Life Worth Living: Disability, Pain, and Morality" by Joel Michael Reynolds explores the exclusion and discrimination of disabled individuals in Western moral philosophy. Reynolds challenges the idea that some lives are worth less than others due to disability, arguing against the ableist conflation of disability with pain and suffering. The book delves into the experiences of pain, disability, and ability, urging readers to confront assumptions about what constitutes a worthwhile life. Reynolds calls for a richer philosophical discussion that goes beyond mere inclusion to truly engage with the diverse experiences of disability. [Extracted from the article]
