N2 - This paper responds to Michael Hand's argument in 'Against autonomy as an educational aim' (Oxford Review of Education, 32, 535-550), refutes it and identifies two faults at its foundation. Through this criticism, the paper makes a substantiated case, both theoretical and empirical, for endorsing the value of education for autonomy as a major goal of education in Liberal Democracies today.
