Can a theory of fairness truly be universal if it fails to account for autism, ADHD, psychopathy, and other forms of neurodiversity? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Palak Singh confronts these questions head on by exposing the neurotypical biases embedded in liberal theories of justice and proposing a radical alternative: an atypical, neuropluralistic justice. Through a critical engagement with Rawls, Kant, Nussbaum, and feminist and disability theorists, she reveals how psychopathic instrumentalism, autistic rule-based reasoning, and other atypical cognitive profiles disrupt conventional notions of reciprocity, public reason, and moral personhood. Yet rather than dismissing these disruptions as anomalies, Singh reframes them as catalysts for reimagining justice itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At its core, this book advances a revised social contract--one where the \"veil of ignorance\" includes cognitive variation, ensuring principles of fairness are robust across neurotypes. From education to criminal law, it charts a path toward a society where neurodivergent individuals are not merely accommodated but recognized as essential to human flourishing and as equal participants in shaping collective life, arguing for an 'Atypical Theory' for 'atypical minds'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Timely and provocative, \u003ci\u003eAn Atypical Theory of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e bridges political philosophy, cognitive science, and disability studies to offer a groundbreaking and transformative framework. It argues for a world where justice is measured not by its adherence to a neurotypical standard but by its capacity to embrace the full spectrum of human cognition.","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47772956524695,"sku":"9781041159179","price":14808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041159179.webp?v=1777976871","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-atypical-theory-of-justice-reimagining-human-nature-rationality-and-justice-in-light-of-neurodivergence-9781041159179","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
