Focusing on the concept of autonomy, this book explores its significance in moral and political philosophy, particularly within applied ethics. Professor Dworkin delves into the nature and value of autonomy, using it as a lens to examine pressing moral dilemmas, including proxy consent in healthcare, the implications of paternalism, and issues surrounding entrapment by law enforcement. Through this analysis, the book offers a fresh perspective on autonomy's role in contemporary ethical discussions.
