Coercion and Autonomy: Philosophical Foundations, Issues, and Practices

by Allen Rosenbaum

Overview

Few subjects in contemporary philosophical and political debate are more cloaked in ambiguity than the issue of coercion — whether on an individual or global scale or in areas as diverse as family relations, employment, and international finance. In this first full-length treatment of the topic, Professor Rosenbaum carefully reviews previous thinking on this question and develops a persuasive original theory focusing on the conceptual relationship between human social autonomy and coercion.
