Resumen
RIBEIRO, Leonardo De Mello. Bratman, Autonomy, and Self-Governance. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.2, pp.11-20. Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 1852-7353. http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/rlf2022311.
Bratman’s self-governance model of autonomy is part of a tradition of hierarchical ac- counts, according to which autonomy is a matter of the agent’s psychology having a certain functioning and hierarchical structure that is constitutive of her practical standpoint. Bratman develops a sophisticated version of that account by drawing on a temporally extended sense of agency, which is realized and sustained by the role higher-order (self-governing) policies play-by being subject to rational demands of consistency, coherence and stability-in coordinating one’s life over time. We shall argue that: (i) there may be autonomous agency without self-governing policies; (ii) there is a tension between understanding autonomy as involving tem- porally extended agency and as realized essentially by those rational demands.
