Title: NEW ESSAYS ON THE HISTORY OF AUTONOMY: A COLLECTION HONORING J.B. SCHNEEWIND; ED. BY NATALIE BRENDER
Description: "Kantian autonomy is often thought to be independent of time and place, but J.B. Schneewind in his 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 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."--Jacket.
