The Idiot: His Place in Creation, and his Claims on Society

By: , Bateman Frederick

This 19th century work offers a unique perspective on the concept of 'idiocy' as it was understood at the time. Bateman challenges the prevailing belief that people with intellectual disabilities had no place in society, offering instead a nuanced and compassionate analysis of the challenges they faced and the ways in which they could be better integrated into the wider community.
