Abstract
The chapter defines the central issue related to the exclusion and exploitation of human life—namely, moral and political inequalities. The prominence of moral and political inequalities becomes evident in understanding that not all lives are treated equitably. These inequalities are intricately tied to the ethics of life and the attributed meaning of life. Historical and current examples of moral and political inequalities and their connection with the profession are presented to support occupational therapists in generating social and cognitive critiques of society. Occupational therapists are encouraged to reconsider their own perspectives on politics, and consequently, life and generate critiques of society Addressing and reducing moral and political inequalities is at the forefront of the occupational therapy political project.
