Resumo: The aim of this paper is to present Steven Wise’s concept of practical autonomy and how it is distinguished from the traditional and modern Kantian notion of autonomy. This is justified in order to emphasize the importance of this concept of autonomy for the recognition of legal rights to nonhuman animals, and the protection of its particular way of life through care practices and responsibility in the relations between human and nonhuman animals. By the aid of bibliographical research and theoretical analysis, we foremost present Wise’s main conceptual distinctions and, secondly, indicate the application of the concept of practical autonomy in the legal context, aiming to recognize rights for animals. Finally, we show how the concept of practical autonomy requires more than legal rights. It also implies moral obligations by individual agents and by the State to ensure appropriate conditions for autonomy and freedom of nonhuman animals.

Por medio de investigación bibliográfica y análisis teórico, se buscará, inicialmente, presentar las distinciones conceptuales centrales de Wise y, posteriormente, indicar la aplicación del concepto de autonomía práctica en el ámbito jurídico, teniendo en cuenta el reconocimiento de derechos a los animales. Por fin, se muestra cómo el concepto de autonomía práctica requiere más que derechos jurídicos, ya que implica obligaciones morales por parte de agentes individuales y del Estado para asegurar las condiciones adecuadas de autonomía y de libertad de animales no humanos.  O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o conceito de autonomia prática de Steven Wise e o modo como se distingue da noção tradicional e moderna de autonomia kantiana, buscando evidenciar a importância dessa noção de autonomia para o reconhecimento de direitos jurídicos aos animais não humanos e a proteção de suas formas específicas de vida por meio de práticas de cuidado e de responsabilidade nas relações entre humanos para com não humanos.
