Heteronomous

The characterization of appropriately ruled non-philosophers as slavish might suggest a special concern for the “heteronomous” character of their capacity to do what they want and a special valorization of the philosophers '“autonomous” capacity. ❋ Brown, Eric (2009)

To say that we are heteronomous because of this is therefore deeply problematic. ❋ Christman, John (2009)

A negatively free will cannot be heteronomous; so it must be autonomous. ❋ Denis, Lara (2008)

According to Kant, only autonomous legislation can yield a categorical imperative; whereas heteronomous legislation can yield only hypothetical imperatives. ❋ Denis, Lara (2008)

In Kantian categories, this second line of argument singles out not the evil of heteronomous considerations, but the goodness of considerations that autonomous and reasonable agents could accept as an appropriate basis for settling fundamental political questions. ❋ Eberle, Chris (2008)

Nevertheless, we can see the extent of the influence of moral sense theories on Kant's ethics in the way that moral feeling continued to figure in Kant's moral thought long after he rejected moral sense theories as heteronomous. ❋ Denis, Lara (2008)

He may also mean that he believes controlled anarchy as the demise of any heteronomous authority sets the proper conditions for the discovery of suppressed esoteric trends in a society. ❋ Magid, Shaul (2008)

Liberals might criticize this on anti-paternalist grounds, objecting that such measures will require the state to use resources in ways that the supposedly heteronomous individuals, if left to themselves, might have chosen to spend in other ways. ❋ Carter, Ian (2007)

That should teach us that the desire for marriage has to be originally and primarily autonomous rather than heteronomous: one has to want to marry, and marry this person, wholeheartedly and for their own sake, else one isn't going to make a truly sacramental go of it. ❋ Mike L (2006)

For reason to be autonomous, its activity must be spontaneous; but this spontaneity cannot be conceived of psychologically, because human cognition as a matter of fact has a passive, and therefore heteronomous, intuitive element, namely sensibility. ❋ Kim, Alan (2003)

Hence, intuition thus conceived threatens to introduce a heteronomous, and therefore rationally unacceptable, factor into science. ❋ Kim, Alan (2003)

Indeed, a voice of critique so understood ought consider — though not resolve — the delicate boundaries between the social and spiritual dimensions of meaning and, correspondingly, its own precarious location between the spontaneous and the providential, the self-affirmation of its subjective intelligence and its responsiveness to heteronomous material signs and "hints." ❋ Unknown (1999)

In the same vein, we have Don Cupitt: "Theological realism can only be actually true for [i.e. thought to be true by] a heteronomous consciousness such as no normal person ought now to have." ❋ 1932- (2000)

The Romantic sublime would then be a simultaneous desire for the potent and the abject, the autonomous and the heteronomous, the ambivalent, contradictory projections of what an image was and did. ❋ Unknown (1997)

The wisest requirements seem to the child more or less alien, arbitrary, heteronomous, artificial, falsetto. ❋ G. Stanley Hall (1885)

Ransom explicity objects to Winters 'heteronomous principles of poetry - his subordination of formal concerns to moral concerns - in the 1941 volume that became the namesake of a movement, The New Criticism. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Insofar as it fails to meet this condition, and does find itself under the influence of 'alien causes', then it is heteronomous. ❋ Unknown (2009)
