Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In thirty years, disabilities have gone from being seen as falling outside the scope of justice to being regarded as a central challenge for theories of justice. Moreover, that challenge has come to be framed in terms congenial to, and influenced by, disability scholars and activists. This paper examines two very different proposals for simplifying distributive justice that reflect this shift. While one seeks to limit the scope of distributive justice, the other to enlarge it, they share four important features: they are motivated to a significant extent by the inapt response to disability offered by earlier theories, they view the misguided treatment of disability as symptomatic of a wider failing to understand the scope of distributive justice, they see the first requirement of justice as the achievement of certain thresholds of capability by all or most members of the political community, and they take education as a paradigm case. Though I argue that neither proposal is successful in achieving the desired simplifications, I believe that both contribute significantly to the current debate on distributive justice, and to the integration of disability scholarship into political philosophy.
