Book Synopsis Practical Autonomy and Bioethics by : James Stacey Taylor
Book excerpt: This book develops a unique account of autonomy in which its attribution to agents is dependent in part on their relationships with others and not merely upon their mental states. This is then applied to bioethical issues—e.g., informed consent and patient confidentiality—in which autonomy plays a central role.
