AB - The conceptualization of disability is not merely a descriptive issue but also a normative one, as the way disability is viewed can fundamentally shift the focus of what constitutes ethically appropriate support for disabled people. This paper reviews the historical debates surrounding models of disability over the past several decades, arguing that each model is a product of conceptual engineering, developed in response to normative needs related to disability. Given the persistent conflicts between these models, we propose a "pluralistic approach to disability" as a solution to the deadlock between them. It is argued that the conceptualization of disability does not require adopting a single stance among conflicting models; rather, by employing a pluralistic approach as part of strategic conceptual engineering, it becomes possible to more effectively address the diverse normative demands surrounding disability
