This is a paper about the relation between two ideas, autonomy and toleration. Both are deeply rooted in liberal culture, and I shall rely on this fact. I shall say very little to explain the liberal concepts of personal autonomy and of toleration, just enough to make the points on which the argument of the paper depends. I shall say even less on the reasons for valuing personal autonomy. My purpose is to show that a powerful argument in favour of toleration is derivable from the value of personal autonomy. This is not a surprising conclusion. I hope some interest lies in the details of the argument; but the main interest is in what it does not establish, in the limits of the autonomy-based principle of toleration.
