The book presents a multi-faceted analysis of a cross-disciplinary issue, drawing on expertise from data science, philosophy, politics, economics, environmental and literary studies

It shows that Continental and European philosophy have a vital contribution to make to debates about autonomy (and will therefore be of special interest to scholars who engage with these traditions).

The book doesn’t have a party line: the contributors (and the editors!) forcefully defend divergent views on autonomy, and so readers will find it an important gateway book into contemporary debates.

The book shows us why we need to be concerned about the cultural, technological and ecological threats to our autonomy today, and makes suggestions for how we might respond to those threats.
