| Résumé: | Autonomy and ethics are related to each other in complex ways. The paper starts by distinguishing and characterizing three basic dimensions of this relation. It proceeds by arguing for the compatibility of moral realism with a due respect for human autonomy.

The paper ends with some considerations on the role of divine authority both in metaethics and in the general theory of value. |
