Omschrijving
In this short book Peter Sloterdijk offers a genealogy of the concept of freedom from Ancient Greece to the present day. This genealogy is part of a broader theory of the large political body, according to which Sloterdijk argues that political communities arise in response to a form of anxiety or stress.

"In this essay on the meaning of freedom today Peter Sloterdijk offers a stunning account of our post-modern predicaments. He writes as ever with polemical verve and great wit, tracing an aberrant freedom from the dissidence of Rousseau�s figure of the solitary walker to the existential principles of Beckett�s neglected first play Eleutheria. The result is an impassioned tour de force in defence of freedom and a call for a renewed ethic of liberality and generosity. This is a must read."
