Autonomy and Equality cover

This book draws connections and explores important questions at the intersection of the debates about relational autonomy and relational equality. Although these two research areas share several common assumptions and concerns, their connections have not been systematically explored.

The essays in this volume address theoretical questions at the intersection of relational theories of autonomy and equality and also consider how these theoretical considerations play out in real-world contexts. Several chapters explore possible conceptual links between relational autonomy and equality by considering the role of values—such as agency, non-domination, and self-respect—to which both relational autonomy theorists and relational egalitarians are committed. Others reflect on how debates about autonomy and equality can clarify our thinking about oppression based on race and gender, and how such oppression affects interpersonal relationships.

Autonomy and Equality: Relational Approaches is the first book to specifically address the relationship between these two research areas. It will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in social and political philosophy, moral philosophy, and feminist philosophy.

"Autonomy and Equality: Relational Approaches brings together 10 new essays by prominent philosophers on the hitherto unexamined yet patent interconnection of relational autonomy and political equality. The volume breaks new ground and constitutes an invaluable contribution to social and political philosophy." -- Marina Oshana, Professor Emerita, University of California, Davis, USA.
