Opis

Stacey Taylor argues that the concept of autonomy is not as multifaceted as many autonomy theorists and bioethicists suppose, and so an account of autonomy can be developed that captures how it is used in contemporary social philosophy and bioethics.

Recenzje

'Taylor's book is based on an impressive knowledge of contemporary theories of autonomy and it clearly and thoroughly situates his own theory of autonomy in this context.' – Robyn Bluhm, Old Dominion University, USA, Metapsychology Online Reviews
