Theory of Law and Philosophy of Law Section

Legal Liability and Autonomy

The main interest rests in the exploration of different perspectives on complementarity of legal liability and autonomy. Legal philosopher Joel Feinberg in his third volume of his treatise Harm to Self (1986) differentiated four meanings of autonomy: as a condition, a right, an ideal and a capacity. What kind of shifts can be observed in contemporary interpretation of autonomy as self-determination? Which questions and issues arise for the understanding of legal liability, if the perspective on autonomy of human being is changing?
