Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the following issues: 1) what was the logic by which severe learning disability was banished from the canon of solidarity of liberalism, and how was it banished? 2) What is the significance of the viewpoint of severe learning disability in reexamining the canon of solidarity of liberalism? 3) What kind of issues arise by reexamining the canon of solidarity of liberalism through the viewpoint of severe learning disability? To place the viewpoint of severe learning disability that was banished from the canon of solidarity of liberalism has some relevance. First, the viewpoint will bring to light the limitation of the canon of solidarity of liberalism. Second, the viewpoint will break fresh new ground in the debate about the canon of solidarity. Reexamining the canon of solidarity of liberalism will clarify the issue as one of conjugation or coexistence of care and justice through demanding the cancellation of the limitation of membership in liberalism.
