Autonomy and Normativity: Investigations of Truth, Right, and Beauty

by Richard Dien Winfield

From the beginning philosophy has understood its pursuit of truth to depend upon the autonomy of reason. For beauty to be evaluated in its own right, autonomy has to be allowed. The author expands upon these considerations in these investigations of truth, right and beauty which offer a post-Enlightenment solution to the reigning incomprehension of the unity of autonomy and normativity and of the foundation-free legitimacy of modernity.
