Autonomy across three cases – Franklin, Thoreau, Gandhi – and across levels of social complexity
Abstract
The study analysis three personalities who generated selfrecords
for a long period of time on their personality development
and especially on character questions. The autobiographies**
of Franklin, Gandhi and Thoreau’s Walden experiment are studied
as paradigmatic modes of enhancing intentionally one’s own
autonomy as a necessary condition to increase the personal ability
to cope with major social conflicts for the sake of common good.
The educational value of Franklin’s methods for character training
is based on practical exercises carried with students.
