SUMMARY:

This is a publication of the Q&A session that followed Quentin Skinner’s lecture. He was asked to reflect on variations of dependence (as an alternative to using a general notion of dependence); to comment on the application of his (positive) notion of freedom to cases where the outcome of the struggle for freedom is a different kind of unfreedom; to clarify relationships between the concepts of nondependence and noninterference and self-realization and noninterference.
