Personal Autonomy and Social Oppression addresses the impact of social conditions, especially subordinating conditions, on personal autonomy. The essays in this volume are concerned with the philosophical concept of autonomy or self-governance and with the impact on relational autonomy of the oppressive circumstances persons must navigate. They address on the one hand questions of the theoretical structure of personal autonomy given various kinds of social oppression, and on the other, how contexts of social oppression make autonomy difficult or impossible.

Apparu dans l'antiquité grecque et, particulièrement, dans la démocratie athénienne, reformulé et enrichi, après une longue éclipse, à partir de la Renaissance et dans le mouvement des Lumières, le projet d'autonomie, affirmait Cornelius Castoriadis il y a quarante ans, est « une plante historique à la fois vivace et fragile ». Ce constat est, aujourd'hui encore, d'une puissante actualité. Des « révolutions arabes » aux mobilisations turques, grecques, espagnoles ou même états-uniennes, du « réveil indigène » en Amérique latine aux expérimentations sociales menées dans les ZAD, on observe un renouveau des résistances démocratiques au désordre établi du capitalisme mondialisé. Face à cette vivacité renaissante, la fragilité du projet démocratique effraie : l'emprise démultipliée de l'imaginaire néolibéral, le fantasme de maîtrise illimitée porté par la technoscience, mais aussi la montée des droites extrêmes et l'essor des intégrismes religieux en témoignent sinistrement. Au vu des risques contemporains qui planent sur le projet d'autonomie, il importe plus que jamais de prêter attention aux processus qui conduisent les sociétés à se dessaisir de leur capacité à se donner leurs propres lois. Ce livre, qui prend le temps d'éclairer les principaux concepts de la pensée de Castoriadis, s'appuie sur la grande fécondité de ses travaux pour interroger les logiques multiples de domination et d'aliénation qui travaillent nos sociétés. Il montre que celles-ci ne pourront maintenir leur autonomie qu'a condition de désirer faire de son exercice collectif le fondement permanent de leur ordre politique.

“Di Iorio offers a new approach to Hayek’s Sensory Order, linking neuroscience to the old Verstehen tradition and to contemporary theories of self-organizing systems; this should be on the reading list of everyone who is interested in Hayek’s thought.” Barry Smith University at Buffalo, editor of The Monist “This impressive and well-researched book breaks new ground in our understanding of F.A. Hayek and of methodological individualism more generally. It shows that methodological individualism sanctions neither an atomistic view of society nor a mechanical determinism. The book carefully analyzes an important tradition in the social sciences, and compares it to many important philosophical, sociological and economic systems of thought. This is an enlightening book for all scholars interested in the methodological problems of the social sciences.” Mario J. Rizzo New York University “One of Hayek’s most important contributions is his linking of complex methodological individualism, which deals with the emergence of spontaneous orders and unintended collective structures in complex self-organizing social systems, with a cognitive psychology. What makes Francesco Di Iorio’s book of great interest is that, by building on Hayek’s seminal book The Sensory Order, it deepens the connections between cognition and rules of just conduct, taking into account relevant theories on subjectivity and consciousness such as phenomenology, hermeneutics and enactivism.” Jean Petitot École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, EHESS, Paris “In this thoughtful and enlightening book Francesco Di Iorio uses Hayek’s cognitive psychology as the starting point for investigation of the relationship between the autonomy of the agent and socio-cultural influences within methodological individualism. The book provides an illuminating and innovative analysis of a central issue in the philosophy of social science by setting Hayek’s view on mind and action in fruitful relation to approaches such as Gadamer’s hermeneutics, Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, Varela’s and Maturana’s enaction, Boudon’s interpretative sociology, Popper’s fallibilism and Mises’ praxeology. One of the most interesting aspects of this book is its argument that hermeneutics and fallibilism refer not to two different methods but to the same one.” Dario Antiseri Emeritus Professor at LUISS University, Rome “Francesco Di Iorio’s book explores, in an original way, the connections between Hayek’s methodological individualism and his fascinating idea that human mind is both an interpretative device and a self-organizing system. It is a brilliant, clearly written work, characterized by a certain intellectual courage, which makes a remarkable contribution to the sociology of knowledge.” Gérald Bronner Paris Diderot University.

Despite its absence in the written text of the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights now regularly uses the concept of autonomy when deciding cases concerning assisted dying, sexuality and reproductive rights, self-determination, fulfilment of choices and control over body and mind. But is the concept of autonomy as expressed in the ECtHR reasoning an appropriate tool for regulating reproduction or medical practice? Caring Autonomy reveals and evaluates the type of individual the ECtHR expresses and shapes through its autonomy-based case law. It claims that from a social and ethical perspective, the current individualistic interpretation of the concept of autonomy is inadequate, and proposes a new reading of the concept that is rooted in the acknowledgment and appreciation of human interdependence and the importance of interpersonal trust and care.
