Philosophers have various reasons to be interested in individual
autonomy. Individual self-rule is widely recognized to be
important. But what, exactly, is autonomy? In what ways is it
important? And just how important is it? This book introduces
contemporary philosophical thought about the nature and
significance of individual self-rule. Andrew Sneddon divides
self-rule into autonomy of choice and autonomy of persons. Unlike
most philosophical treatments of autonomy, Sneddon addresses
empirical study of the psychology of action. The significance of
autonomy is displayed in connection with such issues as
paternalism, political liberalism, advertising and
physician-assisted suicide. Sneddon both introduces the themes of
contemporary autonomy studies and defends a novel account of its
nature and significance. Autonomy is an ideal introduction for
advanced-level undergraduate and postgraduate students to the
issues and debates surrounding individual self-rule.
