I'm Still Learning English:

Heteronomy:

n.1.Subordination or subjection to the law of another; political subjection of a community or state; - opposed to autonomy.2.(Metaph.) A term applied by Kant to those laws which are imposed on us from without, or the violence done to us by our passions, wants, or desires.

For example: The Minotaur only obeys divine-order and is not subject to pathetic heteronomy. Anarchy!
