	Autonomy in Moral and Political Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		So a theory of autonomy is simply a construction of a concept aimed at capturing the general sense of “self-rule” or “self-government” (ideas which obviously admit of their own vagaries) and which connects adequately with the other principles and norms typically connected to those notions.
		Autonomy is central in certain moral frameworks, both as a model of the moral person — the feature of the person by virtue of which she is morally obligated — and as the aspect of persons which ground others' obligations to them.

		AUTONOMY [autonomy] [Gr.,=self-rule], in a political sense, limited self-government, short of independence, of a political state or, more frequently, of a subdivision.
		Autonomy within empires has frequently been a prelude to independence, as in the case of the evolution of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations, containing both autonomous and completely sovereign states.
		Autonomy as in the former Soviet "autonomous" republics and regions in Russia, providing local control over cultural and economic affairs, often is perceived as inadequate by nationalists, who sometimes have demanded independence, as in Chechnya.

	Wired 8.02: The Quest for Meaning
		Autonomy's founder, Michael Lynch, likes to say that he's aiming for Autonomy to become "the Oracle of unstructured data." His company is thriving at the intersection of two Net-driven trends: the push toward personalizing services and the explosion of information in text form.
		Autonomy is one of a number of companies specializing in knowledge management, an industry growing as fast as the Internet itself.
		What makes Autonomy's products different is an underlying pattern-recognition algorithm, derived from Bayes' formulations, which empowers computers to act as if they possessed abilities we think of as subtly and profoundly human: comprehending context, generalizing from words to an idea, even understanding the unspoken by grasping the root concepts beneath the play of syntax.

	SP&P 20:2 -- Autonomy
		Autonomy is often recognized as a central value in moral and political philosophy.
		Autonomy is generally understood as some form of self-regulation, self-governance, or self-direction.
		Still others maintain that individual autonomy should be subordinated to often conflicting values, for example, those centering on race, class, gender, or local community.

	Narco News: Autonomy: Creating Spaces for Freedom
		“Autonomy at the base” was the core principle of Potere Operaio (Worker’s Power) – the influential group and magazine that was at the heart of social unrest in Italy during the late 1960s and early 1970s, dissolving itself in 1973 to become part of a broader movement known as Autonomia (Autonomia Operaio).
		And for some autonomy is a whole way of being, living in communities that are liberated, directly democratic, and self-organizing, communities of struggle where the politics of autonomy have been realized in the social practices and day-to-day existence of alternative realities.
		Autonomy is a key demand of a complex movement, a tree of tomorrow whose deep roots were planted in yesterday and today, and are spreading everywhere.

	Self-rule at UH on hold for now - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		A limited autonomy measure was approved by voters in 2000, but it only provided UH with financial flexibility and power to award and control construction contracts.
		The full autonomy touted by Gov. Linda Lingle would mean the UH system could set its own priorities with financing from the Legislature — minus constant legislative oversight — in a move that would make the UH system as independent as the state judiciary.
		In their testimony on House Bill 1292 for autonomy, UH administrators and a spokesman for the Board of Regents emphasized that this version of an autonomy bill had severe problems — especially its call for completely cutting off the university from the state's general funds.

	Unit 6 - Autonomy
		If neutrality, and objectivity, and even autonomy are impossible, it was hard to see how any reforms of existing legal structures, however radical, could be defended.
		The proposition that autonomy is impossible was restated by some scholars and women's advocates as a practical observation that choice is a relative concept, and that, in some matters at least, more is better than less.
		At the same time, the meaning of autonomy has been expanding beyond the right to be free from interference by others to include the ability to flourish among and in relation to others.

	Personal Autonomy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		On a strict coherentist approach to autonomy, autonomous agents can be moved by desires they are helpless to resist: though an addict fails to govern herself if she would rather resist her irresistible urge to take drugs, she is an autonomous agent if she has no objection to her addiction and its motivational effects.
		Moreover, even if advocates of autonomy as responsiveness to reasoning have nothing in particular in mind when they speak of the process of “reflection,” “rational evaluation,” etc., reasoning is a norm-governed process that an agent might reject for reasons of her own.
		According to this incompatibilist conception of autonomy, autonomy is incompatible with determinism.

		"Autonomy has to do with a sense of one's own identity.
		It involves an ability to act independently and to exert some control over one's environment, and includes a sense of task mastery, internal locus of control, self-agency, and self-efficacy.
		The development of resistance (refusing to accept negative messages about oneself or one's culture) and of detachment (distancing oneself from parental, school, or community dysfunction) serves as a powerful protector of autonomy." (p.

	Are you sure nurses are autonomous? Aren't physicians calling the shots?
		However, in our view that would be an unduly narrow and physician-centric way to define autonomy, one that reflects the assumption that what physicians do is the most important part of health care.
		But as explained above, we believe that nursing has many powerful hallmarks of autonomy despite its relative lack of power, and that it is in nurses' interests to push the idea that they are part of an autonomous profession as strongly as possible.
		If nurses' influence on patient care is seen as merely a matter of physicians' grace and as confined to the boundaries of physicians' practice, then nurses' ability to protect themselves and their patients is accordingly limited.

	Computational Autonomy - Potential, Risks, Solutions (AUTONOMY 2003)
		To date autonomy still is a poorly understood property of computational systems, both in theoretical and practical terms, and among all properties usually associated with agent orientation it is this property being most controversially discussed.
		Obviously, without a clarifcation of these two positions, it is unlikely that agent orientation and agent-oriented systems (having "autonomy" as a real property and not just as a catchy label) become broadly accepted in real-world, industrial and commercial applications.
		The purpose of this half-day workshop is to provide a unique forum for discussing the potential and the risks of computational autonomy, and for presenting solutions to the various issues raised by computational autonomy.

		Autonomy is defined by the Random House Dictionary as "independence or freedom...the right of self-government".
		Autonomy and self-determination must be built on a solid self-knowledge and self-understanding.
		Without this knowledge and understanding, your autonomy is open to any manipulative tactic that comes along...it is self-knowledge that roots us, just as a tree is rooted and can therefore withstand the wind.

		In contemporary thought, autonomy is most often equated with self-determination and individuals are said to be autonomous when their actions are truly their own.
		Thus, patient autonomy refers to the capability and right of patients to control the course of their own medical treatment and participate in the treatment decision-making process.

	Self-governance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Self rule is associated then in contexts where there is the end of colonial rule, absolute government or monarchy, as well as demands for autonomy by religious, ethnic or geographic regions which perceive themselves as being unrepresented or underrepresented in a national government.
		Self-governance of cities is urban autonomy, and the democratic governance of an ecoregion is bioregional democracy.
		Some degree of consensus decision making is usually involved in any self-governance system, if only because individual members of the group may choose to violate the criteria for invoking outside authority, break the code of silence, or otherwise cause the group to lose its autonomy.
