| Annotation | The concepts of competence, autonomy, and authenticity are examined. Various senses of `autonomy' are distinguished, and it is argued that two of these do not embody concepts distinct from mental competence (decision-making capacity), on the one hand, and authenticity, on the other. Emphasis is placed on distinguishing the questions of capacity / competence, and when beneficent intervention is justified. (RH). |
