Abstract
Autonomy is the capacity to govern one?s own actions. Contemporary theories of autonomy ascribe this capacity exclusively to individual agents. The consequence of this individualism is that these theories are inapplicable in a range of contexts in which autonomy can and should play an important role. In these contexts the capacities that constitute autonomy, such as valuing, deliberation and action, are exercised by more than one agent together. The aim of this program is to socialize autonomy: to develop an account of autonomy that is applicable to collectives valuing, deliberating and/or acting together.
