摘要

As discussed in Chap. 3 , the value of individual autonomy presents a significant obstacle for paternalists. To question this value is to presume to look an adult and autonomous person in the eye and publicly declare that they do not truly understand their own good and what constitutes their well-being. Others, it is assumed, know better what is good for them. In many contexts, explicitly challenging the value of individual autonomy is neither politically nor socially realistic.
