Freedom as non-domination is inherently dynamic and adapts to emerging interests
Evidence
The republican language can achieve this degree of pluralism because the ideal of freedom as non-domination is inherently dynamic: it requires people’s interests and ideas to be systematically tracked by the state, and so it leaves room for newly emerging or newly clarifying interests and ideas to force a reinterpretation of what such freedom requires. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 1252
