The author shows that contemporary value-neutral and metaphysically economical conceptions of autonomy, such as that of Harry Frankfurt, face a serious problem. Drawing on Plato, Augustine, and Kant, this book provides a sketch of how 'ancient' and 'modern' can be reconciled to solve it. But at what expense? It turns out that the dominant modern ideal of autonomy cannot do without a costly metaphysics if it is to be coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2004-07-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349519897\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9780230501812\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 222\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317714382988,"sku":"9781349519897","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349519897.jpg?v=1776572401","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349519897","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
