[16] Autonomy - Philosophy - Oxford Bibliographies — Introduction. In recent years the concept of autonomy has risen to prominence both in action theory and moral philosophy. The term "autonomy" stems from two Greek roots, autos ("self") and nomos ("rule"), and originally applied to self-ruling city-states. This term is now more usually applied to self-ruling persons, although precisely what it is for a person to be "self-ruling

[19] Autonomy: Normative - Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy — Some philosophers have argued that personal autonomy possession requires the presence of normative competency conditions that effectively provide agents with the capacity to distinguish right from wrong (see Wolf 1990), but this strong account is in general disfavor, and even if the account is correct, few would argue that this means that personally autonomous agents must also always act morally. This formulation is important, firstly because it suggests that Kant conceived autonomy as a normative principle (and not merely as a condition of the will that makes morality possible), and secondly because it further reinforces Kant’s claim that humans, as autonomous law-givers, are the source of the universal law that guarantees their freedom and hence marks them out as possessing inherent dignity (see Reath 2006).

According to the Millian view of autonomy, a person is autonomous to the extent that he directs his actions in accordance with his own values, desires, and inclinations. Frankfurt’s early hierarchical account of autonomy addressed, among other problems, the intuitively plausible claim that there are cases in which a person might act in accordance with his own desires and yet not act autonomously.

Contemporary philosophy continues to engage with Greek ideas, exploring metaphysical, ethical, and epistemological questions that remain central to philosophical discourse. Ancient Greek philosophy established the foundational principles of Western philosophical thought. The dialectical method introduced by Socrates, the metaphysical inquiries of Plato, and the empirical approach of Aristotle collectively formed a comprehensive philosophical framework that continues to influence contemporary philosophy. From the early naturalistic inquiries of the pre-Socratics to the comprehensive systems of classical and Hellenistic philosophers, Greek thought established the principles of reasoned inquiry, empirical observation, and ethical reflection.

[250] Healthcare Ethics: Balancing Patient Autonomy and Best Practices — Healthcare Ethics: Balancing Patient Autonomy and Best Practices | John Mancoll | Healthcare Healthcare Ethics: Balancing Patient Autonomy and Best Practices Striking a delicate balance between respecting a patient’s autonomy and adhering to evidence-based best practices is a challenge faced by healthcare professionals daily. In this article, we delve into the dynamics of healthcare ethics, exploring how the interplay between patient autonomy and best practices shapes the delivery of care. Patient autonomy is a foundational principle in healthcare ethics, emphasizing an individual’s right to make decisions about their own medical care. In certain situations, patients may make decisions that healthcare professionals deem medically unwise or contrary to best practices. While patient autonomy emphasizes individual choice, best practices in healthcare focus on delivering care based on evidence, research, and established standards.

If a patient is deemed to have impaired decision-making capacity, healthcare professionals must take steps to ensure that their autonomy is still respected. Furthermore, healthcare policies and reimbursement structures should support and incentivize patient-centered care and shared decision-making.

In the case with our patient wanting Viagra, beneficence supports the physician. One might argue that Viagra may harm the patient with side-effects, or mentally, if it does not meet his desired outcome, and therefore he should not be given the medication. The patient wanted to improve his self image of masculinity, and believed that Viagra could help.

So a possible compromise to keep employees happy and engaged could be to offer greater autonomy at work. Giving your team more autonomy isn’t a replacement for flexible work, but it has been proven to boost job satisfaction, something that has been concerning employers since attrition trends like the Great Resignation. Autonomy has been proven to create a culture of trust between managers and employees, empowering the team to grow their skills and invest in their own development. Data shows that while employees enjoy increased autonomy, for many managers, attempting to manage increasing employee expectations and changing work patterns can lead to burnout.

The goal of this approach is not to define how moral theory requires vehicles to behave, but rather to provide a computational approach that is flexible enough to accommodate a number of ‘moral positions’ concerning what morality demands and what road users may expect, offering an evaluation tool for the social acceptability of an autonomous vehicle’s ethical decision making.

Cities like Oslo and Paris have introduced car-free zones, but the evolution of AV technology could take this to the next level by optimizing shared transport and restricting full-size vehicles from certain areas altogether. Urban planners will need to focus on creating adaptive infrastructure, capable of serving both traditional vehicles and autonomous fleets during this transitional period. Autonomous car fleets will reduce the average citizen’s need to own a personal vehicle, because shared AVs will make it possible to summon affordable rides as needed. By adopting infrastructure to maximize AVs’ benefits, reducing congestion, and prioritizing green spaces and shared mobility, city planners will help redefine what vibrant, functional cities look like.

The review critically analyzes key findings of these papers in the light of a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis. First, AV would influence urban transportation and human mobility by reducing vehicle ownership, public and active travel, traffic delay and congestion, travel costs, and by increasing accessibility, mobility, Vehicle Miles Traveled, and revenue generation for commercial operators. Second, AVs would have long-term effects by encouraging dispersed urban development, reducing parking demand, and enhancing network capacity.
