From the Preface:
"The initial idea for this volume was to prepare an update of The Inner Citadel, the collection
of essays on the concept of autonomy that John Christman had put
together in 1989. Given the spate of terrific work since then, a new
anthology seemed in order. But we also saw that discussions of the
concept of autonomy needed to mesh more fully with the growing body of
literature on political liberalism, where there were strikingly similar
lines of critique and rebuttal. Thus arose the idea for a collection of
essays that would both update discussions of autonomy and connect them
to debates over the foundations of liberalism.
The decision to solicit new essays allowed us to tailor our invitations
to authors in a way that framed these issues from the outset, and we
are particularly pleased with the way the authors took up and further
developed those issues. The chapters were all written independently,
but during the process of revising their contributions, the authors had
access to drafts of each other’s chapters, which allowed for
interesting crosspollenation and a more cohesive overall volume. In
addition, several of the authors had anearlier opportunity to exchange
their views at symposia on autonomy in St. Louis in 1997 and 1999."
