This book problematizes predominant and intuitive understandings of freedom as natural capacity. It demonstrates how these conceptions emerge with a specific form of modernity, notably capitalist modernity and thereby demonstrates how philosophy from its modern inception was always also a critique of capitalism and its notion of freedom.
