Part 4.2: Self-Respect and Autonomy

Diana Tietjens Meyers

1989

Abstract:
Part IV. Section 2. Self-Respect and Autonomy:

Meyers's discussion of self-respect takes into account work by Stephen Darwall, Thomas Hill, Jr., and Stephen Massey and proposes a unified triadic account that undermines the distinction between self-respect and self-esteem. After distinguishing compromised respect from unqualified respect, she shows why self-respect is both required for and a product of exercising autonomy competency.
