Morality as Self-governance: Has it a Future?

John Skorupski

Utilitas, 2004, vol. 16, issue 2, 133-145

Abstract: In The Invention of Autonomy, Schneewind argues that a main development in early modern ethical thought is the transition from a conception of morality as obedience to a conception of morality as self-governance. I consider the presuppositions implicit in the latter conception and ask whether they can be maintained.
