Though the claim that there is an important relationship between autonomy and rationality is often treated as uncontroversial in this sphere, there is also considerable disagreement about how we should cash out the\u003cbr\u003erelationship. In particular, it is unclear whether a rationalist view of autonomy can be compatible with legal judgments that enshrine a patient's right to refuse medical treatment, regardless of whether the reasons underpinning the choice are known and rational, or indeed whether they even exist.\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Pugh brings recent philosophical work on the nature of rationality to bear on the question of how we should understand personal autonomy in contemporary bioethics. In doing so, he develops a new framework for thinking about the concept of autonomy, one that is grounded in an understanding\u003cbr\u003eof the different roles that rational beliefs and rational desires have to play in it. Pugh's account allows for a deeper understanding of d the relationship between our freedom to act and our capacity to decide autonomously. His rationalist perspective is contrasted with other prominent accounts of\u003cbr\u003eautonomy in bioethics, and the revisionary implications it has for practical questions in biomedicine are also outlined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Pugh \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Applied Moral Philosophy at the University of Oxford and Manager of the Visiting Programme for the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
