Autonomy of Action in late Modernity - subjective Claims, institutional Basis and structural Dynamics of a normative guiding Principle

自18世纪以来，臣民寻求并应该自主地过自己的生活，这一理念不仅是一种社会承诺，而且是一种明显的强加。中央机构在其现代化过程中以某种方式进行了重新设计，以便它们只有在有自主机构能力的行动者补充的情况下才能发挥作用。当代社会诊断目前集中在观察自治要求的变化及其实现的机会正在发生，但在自治范围是扩大还是缩小的问题上存在分歧。这个问题需要从主体的愿望与现代制度的功能条件之间的匹配关系的角度来具体探讨。因此，本文考察了(1)主体提出的自主性主张是什么，(2)哪些具体的自主性潜力是现代制度的功能先决条件，最后(3)自主性的可行性是否以及如何具体地随着社会动态而改变，以及由此产生的制度秩序的后果。变化的过程将从时间的社会关系的角度进行重构，因为暂时性结构是任何形式的自主实践的固有条件。目的是详细探讨自治要求和制度化过程之间的协同作用，以及它们之间的紧张关系和紧张关系，并检查伴随它们而来的加速动力学以及灵活性约束是否会在这些维度之间造成适应问题。

The idea that subjects seek to autonomously live their lives and shall do so, has not only been a social promise but also a manifest imposition since the 18th century. Central institutions, in the course of their modernization, were redesigned in a way so that they are functional only if and when complemented by actors capable of autonomous agency. Contemporary social diagnoses currently converge in the observation that change in the claims of autonomy and in their chances of realization is taking place, but there is divergence on the question whether the scope for autonomy widens or narrows. This question is to be pursued specifically from the perspective of matching relations between the aspirations of subjects and functional conditions of modern institutions. Therefore it is examined (1) which claims to autonomy subjects raise, (2) which specific potentials for autonomy are functional prerequisites of modern institutions and finally (3) whether and how concretely the feasibility of autonomy is currently changing by social dynamics and what consequences for the institutional order follow from that. The processes of change will be reconstructed from the perspective of social relations of time, because temporality structures are inherent conditions of any form of autonomous practice. The aim is to explore synergies between autonomy claims and institutionalization processes as well as tensions and strains between them in a detailed way and to examine whether acceleratory dynamics as well as the flexibility constraints, which come along with them, pose problems of fit between these dimensions..
