Against Autonomy

In her thought-provoking book, Against Autonomy, author Sarah Conly challenges the traditional notion of autonomy, asserting that it is not an absolute principle. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2013, this compelling paperback spans 216 pages and presents a fresh perspective on the moral justification of laws that promote individual well-being and restrict harmful behaviors. Conly's arguments will resonate with students and researchers interested in political philosophy, political theory, and the philosophy of law. Dive into this insightful exploration of the balance between personal freedom and societal responsibility, and discover why Conly believes that some interventions are not only permissible but necessary for the greater good.
