New Essays on the History of Autonomy by Natalie Brender
Kantian autonomy is often thought to be independent of time and place, but J. B. Schneewind in his landmark study, The Invention of Autonomy, has shown that there is much to be learned by setting Kant's moral philosophy in the context of the history of modern moral philosophy. The distinguished authors in the collection continue Schneewind's project by relating Kant's work to the historical context of his predecessors and to the empirical context of human agency. This will be a valuable resource for professionals and advanced students in philosophy, the history of ideas, and the history of political thought.
'The distinguished authors of New Essays on the History of Autonomy supplement Schneewind's pathbreaking work with a broad range of specific analyses that do justice to the ambitious general goals of his book while significantly advancing the philosophical discussion of central ethical issues' Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame
