This is a detailed, sophisticated and comprehensive treatment of
autonomy. Moreover it argues for a quite different conception of
autonomy from that found in the philosophical literature. Professor
Berofsky claims that the idea of autonomy originating in the self
is a seductive but ultimately illusory one. The only serious way of
approaching the subject is to pay due attention to psychology, and
to view autonomy as the liberation from the disabling effects of
physiological and psychological afflictions. A sustained critique
of concepts such as moral autonomy, self-realisation, ideal
autonomy, and identification is offered. The author replaces these
with an alternative model that reveals how spontaneity, vitality
and competence enable human beings to act in the real world.
