Abstract
‘risking the wall of experts and prejudices, keeping the man in his destiny and his globality, putting back on the agenda, far from the false appearance, the individual adventure to be injured by life, giving him back thirst and hope through his full conscience, freedom and joy; this is in a nutshell the excessive ambition of this book, like the mismeasurement of our lives. I tried to draw up the various stages which the injured party, such as an immobile guerrier, has to live with his entourage, trying to adapt when the deficit seems irremediable.’ br/bVingt years after the first publication, I wanted to complete and update my experience of the constraint on the engine deficit in this new edition. My aim, above all pragmatic and realistic, is to demonstrate that a disability, in the broad sense, can fit into the destiny of a human being. Active acceptance is at the heart of this new development, which makes disability an engine. So we can be loss-making without being disabled and become a cohesive man, the only justification for our existence. But this implies a rethinking of our grid of values, in order to reassess itself and find a life project that is part of a living art. ’
