Inkluzja wobec idei emancypacyjnych – sfery przymusu i wolności w edukacji specjalnej
Inclusion versus emancipatory ideas – the spheres of compulsion and freedom in special education

Summary/Abstract: Some theoretical and research contexts have been presented of the current debate on the significance and value of inclusive education. The relating of inclusion to emancipatory ideas necessitates some reference both to the sources of liberalism and to current directions in disability studies. The thesis has been put forward that inclusion can be not only a sign of equality-oriented aspirations but also a form of violation act, which restricts the right to free choice of the educational pathway. An analysis of the assumptions of British liberalism (formulated by John Stuart Mill) and of the findings obtained in interdisciplinary disability studies (presented by Dan Goodley) justifies the doubts formulated in the article. The disabled still constitute a minority group often excluded from active social life and inclusion still seems to be an imposed project, forced by the non-disabled majority.
