Personal Autonomy and Social Oppression: Philosophical Perspectives. Oshana, M., editor 2015.
abstract   bibtex   
There has been a substantial body of work offering different conceptions or theories of autonomy. In addition, scholarship in philosophy, social psychology, political theory, and feminist theory has addressed the issue of social oppression. But to date, no volume has focused on the possibility of relational autonomy and the conditions that support the relational dimensions of autonomy within socially and psychologically oppressive contexts. Personal Autonomy and Social Oppression: Philosophical Perspectives presents important new scholarship on this topic. Eleven previously unpublished papers address the impact of social conditions, especially subordinating conditions, on personal autonomy. The papers explore questions about the theoretical structure of personal autonomy given various kinds of social oppression as well as questions about the practical effect that contexts of social oppression have upon autonomous choice and action.
