Elementi per una rilettura pedagogico-speciale di un «serious philosophical problem»

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to open a space for dialogue between disciplines known to be involved in bioethical debate, on the one hand, and studies of Special Pedagogy, on the other. If sindromic conditions are treated as the only yardstick of survey of existential possibilities of the unborn child, the reflection on disability condition risks to get exhausted in philosophical, moral and legal discussion, which are not comprehensive of the issue. Starting from a different consideration of deficit situation in the unborn and new born and taking on a pedagogical perspective on the theme, authors offer some elements for the construction of a new reflective horizon with which to develop
questions and answers of different sign.
