Abstract

On a beaucoup écrit sur la bêtise, mais le bilan reste assez modeste. En dépit de quelques tentatives, qu'il faut d'ailleurs porter au crédit d'écrivains (Jean Paul, Flaubert, Bloy, Musil, Barthes), la bêtise n'a pas bénéficié d'une investigation systématique et sa définition reste confuse. La philosophie, dont la fonction selon Nietzsche serait de "nuire à la bêtise" , a oublié sa mission, et c'est à réparer cet oubli que s'emploie Alain Roger.On s'est fourvoyé quand on a voulu voir dans la bêtise une chute dans l'animalité ou l'irrationalité. L'auteur montre au contraire qu'elle s'autorise des lois de la raison, et même s'en réclame avec fatuité : "La bêtise n'est pas une carence ni une déficience : si elle pêche, c'est par excès". Ce qu'il nomme la raison suffisante, dont la forme la plus spectaculaire est la bêtise identitaire, qui s'exprime par prédilection dans la tautologie : "Un sou est un sou".Face aux carences de la philosophie, l'abondance des références littéraires donne à penser que la bêtise est en son propre l'affaire des écrivains : "On pourrait même se demander s'ils ne l'ont pas inventée". Ce Bréviaire se fait dès lors "bestiaire" et expose les principales figures de la bêtise à travers la comédie, chez Molière, Labiche, Feydeau, et le roman, de Balzac à Proust en passant par Flaubert, dont l'oeuvre peut être considérée comme une anthropologie de la bêtise.Ecce Homais.

Abstract

The purpose of this Special Issue on inclusive research is to capture internationally, "How far have we come?" and "Where do we need to go?" Such questions are relevant now that it has been close to two decades since Walmsley and Johnson (2003) first introduced the inclusive research paradigm in their text, Inclusive research with people with learning disabilities: past, present, and futures. Within this Special Issue we have reprinted 18 articles that promote inclusive research as a paradigm that has succeeded in transferring power to people with intellectual disabilities who were once the "researched" to now being and becoming the "researchers". The articles draw upon the work of co-researchers both with and without the lived experience of disability who have adopted inclusive research as a paradigm to redress the exclusion of people with intellectual disabilities as researchers. All the 18 articles have an eye on the future and are sequenced across the following themes: the individual impact of being and becoming an inclusive researcher; building inclusive research relationships as a duo; being part of an inclusive research network; and using inclusive research to push boundaries and facilitate issues of importance identified by people with disabilities. The reprint concludes with two articles where inclusive researchers of long standing reflect on how to continue to walk forward on the road that aided by this reprint will become more well-travelled?
