Sažetak
The method of public justification, developed in political philosophy, is applied on discussion on justification of public evaluative standards that serve to determine which conditions can be defined as disabilities, specifically in psychiatry (illustrations from the historical case of homosexuality). Such evaluative standards consist in criteria for determining character traits and personal conditions that are fundamental for valuable human life.The absence of such characteristics represents cases of disabilities. Our approach to the justification of these evaluative standards includes two fundamental constraints: One is respect of pluralism. The justification of evaluative standards that are employed for the definition of conditions of disabilities must be responsive to the pluralism present among persons, inclusive of the values that they endorse, their characteristics, their needs, etc. The other constraint is reasonableness, because of not rendering public justification hostage of epistemic flaws, like epistemic negligence, stubbornness, epistemically deviant influences, etc.
