Kant's definition of freedom is

the right to control one's


actions based on reason, not
desire. All of this can be
simplified to the definition of
autonomy.
The term Autonomy derives
from the Greek term, which
translates into self-legislator.
There is only one
inherent right, "says
Kant,"freedom
(independencefrom being
limited by the option of
another) to the degree that
it can coexist with the
freedom of each other
following universal law.”

behavior unconditional or absolute for all agents or persons whose
