What can theology offer philosophical discussions of autonomy? In this distinctive collection of essays, Insole and DeSpain lead a cadre of academics from across the world in answering this question. In doing so, they challenge the narrow conception of ‘liberalism’ that has characterised much of the discussion around autonomy. The contributions disrupt traditional methodologies by starting with analyses of urgent and concrete situations where the concept of autonomy is employed, misappropriated or even challenged. These scenarios include essays on trauma, transgender issues, disability and end-of-life debates. This volume also explores broader political issues that relate to autonomy such as democracy, the economy and migration.Each chapter maintains a focused concern with social justice whilst demonstrating how a religious dimension can expand our understanding of the concept of autonomy. This is sure to be a valuable resource for any theologians, philosophers or intellectual historians looking to view autonomy from a fresh and contemporary angle.

In their second volume, DeSpain and Insole invite readers to consider the differences that a theological perspective can make to the concept of autonomy. They consider what a renewed appreciation for the concept’s multivalence could mean for theology moving forward. Leading philosophical theologians and scholars of religion marshal insights from philosophy, early Christianity, systematic theology, and art history to fulfil the need in theology for a new way of thinking about the many uses of autonomy.The chapters within challenge theological and philosophical efforts to reduce the varied uses of autonomy to a particular and narrow sense of the concept’s meaning: that it promotes unhelpful connotations of self-creation, individualism, and illusory control. The essays and reflections offered in this volume encourage readers to reconsider the subtleties and nuances present in appeals to the language of autonomy. From philosophy to psychoanalysis to the experienced of enslaved peoples in North America, the contributors explore myriad avenues to establish a new trajectory for theorizing autonomy in theology. Together, these essays examine autonomy’s conceptual and historical roots, exploring alternative philosophical contexts and ‘Enlightenment’ narratives, to offer a constructive outlook on a range of ways the concept of autonomy can used to express the conditions necessary for agency to thrive.
