ambos son sinónimos exactos.

Se puede decir autónomo y autogobernate?

“The person is a subject, a moral agent, autonomous and self-governing. An object is a non-person, not treated as a self-governing moral agent .

Mi versión:
“La persona es un sujeto, un agente moral, autónomo y auto gobernante. Un objeto es algo que no es una persona, no es tratado como un agente moral auto gobernante . . .

autónomo y que decide por si mismo


Explanation:
Me parece que "decide libremente" y "decide por si mismo" son igualmente correctas. Autogobernante no me parece correcto en absoluto.

Autónomo e indepediente


Explanation:
Así como "autonomous" y "self governing" son sinónimos, casi lo son totalmente estos dos términos en Español. Yo los usaría en esta situación.
