The notions of autonomy and diversity, both important in social and ethical theory, seem to have little to do with one another. To put it roughly, autonomy has to do with self-governance, with the ability to determine your actions by your own nature or principles; its opposite is heteronomy, which is acting from someone else’s nature or principles, as when they give you orders or you want to please them. Diversity, on the other hand, means variation, and its opposite is uniformity. So the two terms are not, it appears, even opposed to each other.
