Opis

First published in 1999, this volume is an exploration of how deep autonomy goes into Western consciousness and whether autonomy is either universally necessary or necessary to democracy.

Recenzje

’...Clarke forges a razor sharp critique of modes of thought forbidding or legislating autonomy and puts in their place an ethics of autonomy which I can only call, acknowledging Nietzsche’s project of going beyond nihilism, post-theological and post post-modernist.’ Glenn Bowman, University of Kent at Canterbury, UK
