Autonomy: Volume 20, Part 2: v. 20 (Social Philosophy and Policy) Book

A central idea in moral and political philosophy, "autonomy" is generally understood as some form of self-governance or self-direction. Certain Stoics, modern philosophers such as Spinoza, and most importantly, Immanuel Kant, are among the great philosophers who have offered important insights on the concept. Some theorists analyze autonomy in terms of the self being moved by its higher-order desires. Others argue that autonomy must be understood in terms of acting from reason or from a sense of moral duty independent of the passions. The essays in this volume discusses the concept and role that autonomy plays in philosophy as well as its implications in public policy.Read More
