"Five Lectures on Blindness" by Kate M. Foley is a collection of educational addresses written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the psychological and educational aspects of blindness, aiming to inform the general public about the capabilities and challenges faced by blind individuals. Foley, a home teacher of the blind, shares her insights based on her extensive experience, advocating for the empowerment and full participation of blind people in society. At the start of the text, Foley introduces the purpose of the lectures, emphasizing that they were designed to enlighten the seeing public rather than the blind themselves. She addresses the psychology of blindness, describing how those who lose their sight must adapt by heightening their other senses, particularly touch, hearing, and smell. Through personal anecdotes and observations, she illustrates the adaptability and resilience of blind individuals, while also discussing the societal attitudes and misconceptions that surround them. The opening portions establish a foundation for later discussions on education, re-education, and the importance of public understanding in enhancing the lives of those who are blind, emphasizing that blindness, though a significant challenge, should not be viewed as a barrier to personal and professional success.
