Democratic theory relies on the concept of autonomy to provide justification for participatory government and the normative goal of democratic governance, which is to protect the ability of the individual to self-govern. Offering the first examination of the concept of autonomy from a postfoundationalist perspective, ""The Autonomous Animal ""analyzes how the ideal of self-governance has shaped everyday life.
