Farewell to Freedom: A Western Genealogy of Liberty

From Homeric poems to contemporary works, this book traces the words that express the various notions of freedom in Classical Greek, Latin, and medieval and modern European idioms. Examining writers from Plato and Aristotle to Nietzsche and Foucault, this theoretical mapping shows old and new boundaries of the horizon of freedom.
