Like any abstract and polysemic concept, the idea of freedom has changed over time, mutating its emphasis and priorities. Therefore, the aim is to explore the historical evolution of the concept of Freedom, from Antiquity to our days. This history is marked both by the evolution of political institutions as by the evolution of subjectivities.
