disability, ancient, medieval and modern anthropology, growth and regression, revival of the paradigm, Kant, Herder, GehlenAbstract
Firstly, the paper reconstructs the core stages of the anthropological reflection on the disabled human being condition. Each stage shows certain strengths but, at the same time, limitations, since, according to the thesis advocated by the author, the humankind has still not achieved an appropriate quality of the disabled and enabled individuals coexistence. Secondly, the paper examines modern philosophical anthropologies which could empower such a coexistence. Herder and Gehlen’s approach seems to offer a more adequate contribution than Kant’s (and scholastic) anthropology. The revival of the paradigm is only thinkable due to the overall transvaluation of disability-related axiologies and the postconventionalisation of the disability-related norms.
