Reviews

Taking Autonomy's Measure offers an original and nuanced account of autonomy as a phenomenon unified along three dimensions of the self: self-definition, self-realization, and self-unification. Killmister employs the tri-dimensional account to cast fresh light on our understanding of intentional action, implicit bias, adaptive preferences, paternalism, and social oppression. The book promises to be of interest to readers both for its theoretical care and for its treatment of the practical applications of self-government. -Marina Oshana, University of California, Davis, USA
