Summary

This book represents a broad conversation addressing the nature and potential limitations of autonomy, as well as some approaches to overcoming those limitations. Such a conversation is incomplete without an exploration of autonomy at law, and any discussion of autonomy at law must grow from a consideration of judicial conceptions of autonomy and where these fit within the broader philosophical narrative. Autonomy at law is broadly interpreted and hard to characterise and this raises the question as to whether it is clearly understood at law.
