I discuss the way that the Chinese self could truly be said to be relational and argue that this sense of relationality is compatible with a significant form of moral autonomy that is highly valued in Confucianism. It is in fact a kind of autonomy free of questionable assumptions about the exemption of human beings from the laws of nature.
