    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Autonomous agency requires that one's evaluative standards originate from one's own rational reflection, not external influence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Active reshaping of values by another person's influence, regardless of consent, undermines the self-governance constitutive of autonomy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Heteronomous determination occurs whenever external agents causally determine one's practical principles, even indirectly through friendship.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Autonomy permits rational agents to adopt others' values through deliberative endorsement; such adoption remains self-determined, not heteronomous.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing genuine friendship from autonomy-violating influence requires examining whether one critically endorses the value-shift, not merely whether external influence exists.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.All practical reasoning involves social influence; marking friend-influence as uniquely heteronomous conflates causation by others with determination by others against one's will.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
