 abstract = {As it is currently understood, the notion of autonomy, both as something belonging to human beings and human nature, as such, and also as the source or basis of morality (moral duty), is bound up inextricably with the philosophy of Kant. The term “autonomy” itself derives from classical Greek, where (at least in surviving texts) it was applied primarily if not exclusively in a political context, namely, to certain civic communities possessing independent legislative and self-governing authority.¹ The term was taken up again in Renaissance and early modern times with similar political applications, but was applied also in ecclesiastical disputes},
