Autonomy, Freedom and Rights: A Critique of Liberal Subjectivity

by Emilio Santoro

Book Overview

For the author freedom is not a fixed measure. It is not the container of powers and rights defining an individual's role and identity. It is rather the outcome of a process whereby individuals continuously re-define the shape of their individuality. Freedom is everything that each of us manages to be in his or her active and uncertain opposition to external 'pressures'.
