Liberation from Self

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a comprehensive analysis of autonomy, challenging traditional philosophical views that equate it with self-origination. Professor Berofsky argues that this notion is misleading and emphasizes the importance of psychology in understanding autonomy. He critiques established concepts like moral autonomy and self-realization, proposing a new model centered on active, competent engagement with the world, free from psychological and physiological constraints. This fresh perspective aims to redefine autonomy in a more practical and liberating context.
