If we want to be autonomous, what do we want? The author shows that
contemporary value-neutral and metaphysically economical
conceptions of autonomy, such as that of Harry Frankfurt, face a
serious problem. Drawing on Plato, Augustine, and Kant, this book
provides a sketch of how 'ancient' and 'modern' can be reconciled
to solve it. But at what expense? It turns out that the dominant
modern ideal of autonomy cannot do without a costly metaphysics if
it is to be coherent.
