  • Individual autonomy as a legal concept - The origins of "Privatautonomie " in the "confessional age". The Germán term "Privatautonomie"'as a fundamental principie of civil lawtakes up the term autonomy, which was used to describe the freedom of belief from the 16t h to the 19th century. Andreas Erstenberger made it popular in this sense choosing it as the title of his work De autonomía in 1586, although he denied individuáis such autonomy, vvhereas especially protestant authors often claimed its legal acceptance. The ancient Greek use of "autonomy" had mainly been limited to public law, referring to self-government. In the late 18th century Johann Christian Majer transferred the term "autonomy" from the law of religión into prívate law, using it in the sense of individual autonomy in civil law. The now so called "Privatautonomie" became a generally accepted term during the Germán 19t h century. The Germán terminology carne to influence other European languages and legal systems, sometimes assisted by the spreading of Kant's philosophical idea of autonomy. In Germán Law, however, the term "Privatautonomie" still remains much more important than its correspondents in Common Law
