Description

John Christman presents a comprehensive critical analysis of autonomy and selfhood in political theory, challenging traditional liberal democratic assumptions about self-governing citizens. This Cambridge University Press volume examines how standard accounts of the self and autonomy function in contemporary political philosophy, offering fresh interpretations that sidestep longstanding disputes whilst withstanding established criticisms. Christman's model reframes individual autonomy by integrating socio-historical dimensions often overlooked in conventional theories, providing scholars and students with a rigorous foundation for understanding personhood within democratic frameworks. The work bridges analytic philosophy and political theory, making it essential for anyone exploring the philosophical underpinnings of justice, freedom, and citizenship in modern liberal democracies.

Key Features

Offers sustained critical analysis of the 'self' concept as it appears in political theory and liberal philosophy.

Develops a model of individual autonomy that avoids traditional disputes whilst addressing standard criticisms of autonomy theory.

Integrates socio-historical perspectives into accounts of personhood, challenging purely individualistic conceptions of self-government.

Published by Cambridge University Press, a leading academic publisher specialising in rigorous philosophical scholarship.

Essential resource for students and scholars of political philosophy, ethics, and democratic theory seeking deeper understanding of autonomy.
