Autonomy and Temporality

Philosophers point to many kinds of freedom. ‘Autonomy’ refers to one's capacity to form principles of one's own and to act upon them. To be autonomous is ‘to decide for oneself what one shall do’. Philosophically, that is arguably the most important kind of freedom, being as it is a necessary condition for leading a moral life at all.

This is a Legacy Audio recording drawn from a collection of free audio resources over the last 30+ years featuring themes which are still relevant today. Due to the archival nature of the recordings, some of the audio content may not be up to today's digital standards, but nonetheless, the content is still applicable.
