The chapter is dedicated to critically engaging contemporary accounts. It explores views from Pellegrino (2001), Broadbent (2019), and four "list approaches" (Callahan et al. 1996; Brody and Miller 1998; Brülde 2001; Boorse 2016). This is a rather considerable amount of material to delve into in a single chapter, but the aim of the reconstruction is not to do justice to all the details of these accounts; rather it is to focus on examining to what extent they are able to overcome or bypass the challenges faced in Chapter 6 when working towards the final iteration of the Autonomy Thesis. Subjecting these competing views to critical scrutiny is not merely an essentially adversarial procedure, but also a means to assist in framing the proposal presented in the chapter. By inspecting the most relevant aspects of these accounts in light of the challenges considered in Chapter 6, the chapter also provides further reinforcement for the Autonomy Thesis by considering paths that our inquiry chose not to take.
