Abstract

In very simple terms we can say that the concept of autonomy implies three main subjects (each of which should be thought in a very general sense): the main agent (the autonomy of which is considered), the resource (about which the first subject is considered autonomous), and a secondary agent (from which the main agent is considered autonomous).
