autonomie
Sign in to saveIn developmental psychology and moral, political, bioethical philosophy, autonomy is the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision. Autonomous organizations or institutions are independent or self-governing.

Autonomie, zelfbestuur (politiek) of zedelijke zelfstandigheid (individueel) is de vrijheid en het vermogen van een entiteit, bijvoorbeeld een individu, organisatie of natie, om zelfstandig beslissingen te nemen. Het begrip komt voor in politiek, juridisch, filosofisch, geneeskundig, moreel en psychologisch verband; bij uitbreiding wordt het begrip autonomie in overdrachtelijke zin daarnaast gebruikt in de techniek, fysiologie en de beeldende kunst. Het tegenovergestelde van individuele, morele zelfstandigheid werd door de Duitse filosoof Immanuel Kant heteronomie genoemd: een gebrek aan wilsvrijheid dat individuele ontplooiing in de weg staat.
