It is both an ideal and an assumption of traditional conceptions of
justice for liberal democracies that citizens are autonomous,
self-governing persons. Yet standard accounts of the self and of
self-government at work in such theories are hotly disputed and
often roundly criticized in most of their guises. John Christman
offers a sustained critical analysis of both the idea of the 'self'
and of autonomy as these ideas function in political theory,
offering interpretations of these ideas which avoid such disputes
and withstand such criticisms. Christman's model of individual
autonomy takes into account the socially constructed nature of
persons and their complex cultural and social identities, and he
shows how this model can provide a foundation for principles of
justice for complex democracies marked by radical difference among
citizens. His book will interest a wide range of readers in
philosophy, politics, and the social sciences.
