Robert Murphy's career, culminating in the study of disability, gives evidence of deep commitment to understanding the human condition in adversity. His life-long interest in the psychological, sociological and cultural significance of behavior; his work on alienation, developed through fieldwork in small scale societies in South America and Africa; his fascination with the estrangement that arises from the conflict between our need to integrate and to be autonomous; and his own experience of a progressive debilitating disease provided him with rich insights for his interpretation of disability. This paper examines Murphy's contributions to our understanding of the meanings and implications of disability, for those who personally experience it, and for the 'others' in their lives.
罗伯特·墨菲的职业生涯以对残疾的研究告终，这证明了他致力于深入理解逆境中的人类状况。他对行为的心理、社会和文化意义有着毕生的兴趣；他通过在南美洲和非洲的小规模社会进行实地研究，对异化问题展开了研究；他着迷于我们在融入与自主需求之间的冲突所引发的疏离感；而他自身患有一种逐渐使人衰弱的疾病的经历，为他解读残疾提供了丰富的见解。本文探讨了墨菲对于我们理解残疾的意义及影响所做出的贡献，这些贡献对于亲身经历残疾的人以及他们生活中的“他人”而言。
