摘要：
In this paper I offer a model-theoretic interpretation of Autonomy Theory as defended by Moreno, Mossio, Mont & eacute;vil, and Bich. I address accusations that Autonomy Theory is excessively liberal, such as those made by Garson (2017), arguing that these misunderstand the role of strategic abstractions and generalizations in theory construction. Conceiving of closure of constraints as a model-building effort that emphasizes generality-in the spirit of Levins (1966)-also clarifies its potential for application in empirical contexts.
