Reviews

. ..The essays are presented in honor of O'Neill's work as a scholar and teacher. It is a fine volume.... this collection gives us fourteen good essays on an interesting and important topic. As a whole, the volume provides a thorough treatment of Kant's conception of autonomy, the influence of Rousseau, and how Kant's conception of autonomy developed over time, as well as indications of how Kant's conception of autonomy differs from, and could support, contemporary conceptions of autonomy.... the volume covers almost everything one could hope for.... the volume succeeds by every measure of success, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in Kant, autonomy, or the continued relevance of Kantian autonomy. --Jeppe von Platz, Suffolk University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

'This rich collection of essays, many inspired by or referencing the work of Onora O'Neill, offers various perspectives on autonomy in Kant with some effort to draw relations to other issues in moral theory.' Frederick Rauscher, Journal of the History of Philosophy
