autonomy - agency as art

This note last modified February 27, 2023

Simplistically, autonomy is being free from restrictions.

  • We consent to rules when we participate in a society, when we impose rules on ourselves for self-control.
    • I’m not sure I agree. Sure I may impose the rule on myself not to smoke for my own health, but true autonomy would be the ability to smoke without worrying about the consequences.
