Overview

What can theology offer philosophical discussions of autonomy?

In this distinctive collection of essays, Insole and DeSpain lead a cadre of academics from across the world in answering this question. In doing so, they challenge the narrow conception of 'liberalism' that has characterised much of the discussion around autonomy. The contributions disrupt traditional methodologies by starting with analyses of urgent and concrete situations where the concept of autonomy is employed, misappropriated or even challenged. These scenarios include essays on trauma, transgender issues, disability and end-of-life debates. This volume also explores broader political issues that relate to autonomy such as democracy, the economy and migration. Each chapter maintains a focused concern with social justice whilst demonstrating how a religious dimension can expand our understanding of the concept of autonomy. This is sure to be a valuable resource for any theologians, philosophers or intellectual historians looking to view autonomy from a fresh and contemporary angle.
