Description

Explore the fundamental connections between individual autonomy and political theory in The Politics of Persons: Individual Autonomy and Socio-historical Selves. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work addresses a core assumption of liberal democracies: that citizens are autonomous, self-governing persons. While traditional conceptions of justice rely on these ideas, standard accounts of the self and self-government are frequently disputed and criticized. John Christman provides a sustained critical analysis of how the concepts of the 'self' and autonomy function within political theory. By examining these ideas through a rigorous lens, Christman offers new interpretations designed to avoid common disputes and withstand academic criticism. This book is a significant resource for readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and political science. It provides a framework for understanding how socio-historical contexts shape the way we view individual agency and the requirements of justice in modern democratic societies.
