    Freedom and autonomy refer to an individual's ability to make independent decisions as the conscious source, derived from the Greek words for "self" and "law". True freedom requires taking responsibility for the consequences of one's actions and considering how choices might affect others, rather than only focusing on one's ability to choose without thought of consequences.

    What is Freedom?

    Definition of Autonomy

    • As defined in the book, being autonomous means that a person is the


    conscious and creative source of his/her decisions
    • Autonomy comes from the Greek words “auto” meaning self and
    “nomos” meaning custom or law.
    -which means that the person or group of persons have the capability
    to make independent decisions.

    > self-government
    > self-rule
    • Does being responsible for our actions automatically make us free
    and responsible persons?
    • Does freedom begin and end with one’s ability to choose for oneself?
    • What about the consequences of our actions and those that become
    affected by our choices?
    • Would no thinking bout the consequences get in the way of our
    autonomy?
    • How are we to understand the relationship between freedom and
    responsibility?
