Description

Autonomy for Kant is what the word literally implies: the imposition of a law on one’s own authority and out of one’s own rational resources. Here, Shell explores the limits of this phenomenon. A rigorous, philosophically and historically informed study, this book is also an extended meditation on the foundation and limits of modern liberalism.
