The Ethics of Inclusive Education cover

The Ethics of Inclusive Education clarifies the idea of inclusion and its normative content, and presents a coherent theoretical framework for inclusion and inclusive education. It serves as one of the first extended philosophical defenses in the field of inclusive education that goes beyond a simple assertion of educational value.

Integrating perspectives from the history, sociology and psychology of inclusive education, this book develops a holistic concept of inclusion, while clearly and systematically examining the ethical-normative content of inclusive education. It also offers:

    • an interdisciplinary analysis of inclusion and inclusive schooling, ranging from historical to sociological analysis of their predecessors and preconditions, to the investigation of their philosophical and educational content,
    • an in-depth analysis of the moral significance of exclusion, the value of inclusion and inclusive education from an analytical point of view, and
    • practice-oriented investigations of the individual and social conditions for inclusion and inclusive education.

The Ethics of Inclusive Education serves researchers, practitioners and politicians, to make key educational decisions about how to understand, explore or realize inclusive educational aims, especially with respect to disability and special needs.

'Excellent, both in its coverage of key issues and its progression from ordinary concerns to theoretical analyses back to practical applications. Her framework will make an important and needed contribution to several ongoing scholarly discussions and has significant potential eventually to improve the lives of many disabled students.’ - Adam Cureton, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

‘[Has] breadth and depth of coverage, drawing on philosophy and sociology, putting inclusive education in a historical context [and] written in a thorough and clearly argued way.’- Brahm Norwich, University of Exeter
