Object
Hi.
What does 'Object' mean in:
Autonomy in the Kantian tradition is, of course, associated with the notion of free will, of an individual no longer subject to externally created laws. As Langdon Winner has pointed out, the very idea of an autonomous technology raises an ‘‘unsettling irony, for the expected relationship of subject and object is exactly reversed."
?Thanks in advance
