The issues discussed are: liberty and autonomy (what are they? how do we protect them?); power (what different forms does power take, and how is power related to liberty, autonomy and justice?); and self (who are we - as subjects of liberty, autonomy, power and justice? What are the limits of ourselves and how might they be overcome?).
