Philosophy of Disability is a branch of philosophy that studies the phenomenon of disability and its relation to, impact upon, and import for society. As a field of inquiry that spans multiple traditions, including analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, pragmatism, and more, it involves a wide range of issues, including analysis of the concept of disability, the relationship between disability and well-being, the problem of ableism, and the meaning of accessibility.[1][2]

In 2012, the Society for Philosophy and Disability was created, which is "a non-profit educational organization dedicated to furthering research and teaching on philosophical issues related to disability and to promoting inclusiveness and support for people with disabilities in philosophical education and in the profession of philosophy."[3][4] In 2020, the Journal of Philosophy of Disability, the first journal devoted to the field, was founded by Joel Michael Reynolds (Georgetown University).[5][6][7] It is currently edited by Joel Michael Reynolds (Georgetown University) and Teresa Blankmeyer Burke (Gallaudet University).
