Abstract

This article examines autonomy as a concept at the articulating point between philosophical and theological reflection. After having briefly situated the historical origin of the debate concerning autonomy in moral theology, the author proposes a philosophical approach to this concept based on Kant and completed by Hegel before sketching a theological reuse of the idea which culminâtes in a three-fold movement where autonomy sees itself confîrmed, restored and heightened. It thus cornes to light how the concept of autonomy allows one to overcome the rift between philosophical and theological ethics by maintaining on the one hand an autonomous form of realization and on the other hand an opening within autonomy itself.
