Description
Autonomy by Andrew Sneddon explores the concept of individual self-rule, examining its nature and significance in various contexts. The author delves into empirical studies of human psychology to understand how autonomy relates to issues such as paternalism, political liberalism, advertising, and physician-assisted suicide. Sneddon distinguishes between two aspects of autonomy: autonomy of choice and autonomy of persons. He defends a novel account of autonomy's significance, making this book an ideal introduction for students of philosophy seeking to grasp the complexities surrounding individual self-rule. This thought-provoking work provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary philosophical debates on autonomy, offering insights into its importance and relevance in modern society.
