Resum

The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of freedom and its historical evolution. The study goes deeply into the historiographical trasnformation and interpretation of freedom from antiquity to the present day, starting from the "eleutheria/douleia" dichotomy. It concludes that in antiquity freedom was conceived as the opposite of slavery (freedom as opposed to exploitation), whereas modern freedom proposes free access to exploitation, leaving the working class jobless.
