Corporeality, Technology and Desire for Salvation: A Comment from the Perspective of Disability

Abstract

In disability studies, discomfort arose at the time due to the scant consideration that the corporeal condition was receiving in the so-called "social model of disability". The study recently published by Jorge Martín Montoya Camacho and José Manuel Giménez Amaya under the title “Corporality, technology and desire for salvation. Notes for an anthropology of vulnerability” offers an interesting framework for disability studies, as it allows us to understand disability within a broad proposal of philosophical anthropology. Indeed, the study we are commenting on, making use of Aristotelian philosophy, adequately articulates our bodily and social dimensions with the ends of human life
