The attribute of the rational will, according to Immanuel Kant, is autonomy, which is the

total opposite of heteronomy. Simply said, autonomy means self-law nor self-legislating
and heteronomy means other law. Hence, autonomy is the ability to understand what
morality tends to require of us, and its capabilities not as freedom to pursue our goals,
however as the capabilities of an agent to act on unbiased and universally valid rules of
behavior, approved solely by purpose, it is the ability to think for oneself and make one's
own moral law, rather than simply obeying others' commands. Autonomy is the ability to
make decisions for one's own and seek a form of action in one's life, often without
reference for moral implications. According to Kant, rationality, on the other hand, is a
core aspect of the self. As a result, if a person's preferences and deeds are solely
guided by his rationality, he will be autonomous, individuals have the right to self-
determination, which means they have the freedom to make their own choices and
decisions without involvement through others. On the other hand, this is what Immanuel
Kant refers to as heteronomy, or rationale guided externally by a fictitious or decided to
impose authority. The issue is determining authoritative ways of behaving and
pondering, or those that have the authority to lead everyone's actions and thoughts,
means it refers to action that is influenced by a force outside the individual, in other
words the state or condition of being ruled. Heteronomy is the state of taking actions on
desires that are not governed by logic.
