Autonomy and Identity are key concepts in both political and
feminist thought and have played central roles in both fields.
Although there has been much academic work on both concepts there
has arguably been little that has addressed the connections between
autonomy and identity. Autonomy and Identity seeks to draw
innovative links between these concepts in order to develop a new
understanding which sees autonomy as a process by which we change
and develop our identity. It draws on thinkers from the canon of
political thought such as G.W.F. Hegel, Mary Wollstonecraft, J.S.
Mill and Simone de Beauvoir and features illustrative examples
drawn from a wide range of contemporary issues including
pornography, domestic violence and women's citizenship. Hague
argues that identity is best understood as changing, multiple, and
something we need to take control of ourselves. In order to support
this version of identity there needs to be a concept of autonomy
which emphasises self-direction to control our identity. Providing
valuable insight into the complexities of thinking about linking
autonomy to identity, this book will be of interest to students and
scholars of political science, gender studies, contemporary
political thought and the history of political thought.
