ABSTRACT
Ever since Kant, it has been customary in modern philosophy to discuss the problem of free will and responsibility in terms of autonomy. And there may indeed be a sense in which to say that agents are autonomous is just the same as to claim that their will is free and hence they are responsible. Nevertheless, it seems to me that there is a certain danger in trying to cash out the content of free will by relying on any notion of autonomy. For the notion of autonomy as it is usually understood may have such normative implications which require much more than the conditions of our responsibility do.
