ABSTRACT

This study set out to review critically the major issues of theoretical content and juridical controversy about affirmative action, which is an important means of policy to rectify practical discriminations against people with disability and promote equality for them, and provide clues for the teleological justification and justification of affirmative action as a means. For those purposes, the study covered the basic values, historical development, and content related to people with disability of affirmative action as its theoretical content, trying to understand its essential context. Based on them, the investigator divided the juridical arguments over affirmative action related to people with disability into the basic ideas(equality and fundamental rights), process-based methodologies(past compensation and diversity management), and resulting efficacy(merit system and reverse discrimination) and secure grounds for its practical justification. The review results indicate that affirmative action has enough logical legitimacy and that some confrontations of opinions about it can be resolved in most parts through the discussion of human right perspectives and the goal of social inclusion efficacy based on the basic values of practical equality realization. Based on that teleological justification, the study proposed and discussed a couple of plans as means including the logical organization of various scrutinies for specific situations and their means across various fields, the systemization of discriminating measures based on the characteristics of people with disability.
