Autonomy Has Origins in Law
Since nomos is Greek for "law", something autonomous makes its own laws. The amount of autonomy enjoyed by French-
speaking
Quebec, or of Palestinians in certain towns in Israel, or of independent-
minded regions of Russia, have become major issues. The
autonomy of individual states in the United States has posed serious constitutional questions for two centuries. The autonomy of
children is almost always limited by their parents. But when those parents are elderly and begin driving poorly and getting confused
about their finances, their children may see the need to limit their autonomy in much the same way.
