Description:
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. Through a highly original reading of Rousseau s late Reveries of a Solitary Walker, Sloterdijk shows that, for Rousseau, the modern subject emerges as a subject free of all stress, unburdened by the cares of the world. Most of modern philosophy, and above all German Idealism, is an attempt to reign back Rousseau s useless and anarchical subject and anchor it in the cares of the world, in the task of having to produce both the world and itself. In the light of this highly original account, Sloterdijk develops his own distinctive account of freedom, where freedom is conceptualized as the availability for the improbable.
This important text, in which Sloterdijk develops his account of freedom and the modern subject, will be of great interest to students and scholars in philosophy and the humanities and to anyone interested in contemporary philosophy and critical theory.

Amazon Essentials Women's High Stretch Jeans
Size: 14, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Amazon Essentials Women's High Stretch Jeans receives positive reviews from me for their significant stretch, comfort, and flattering fit. The jeans are great for everyday wear, they feel soft and thick yet move well. Although some folks find sizing inconsistent, occasionally needing to size up or experiencing a slightly odd fit in certain areas. They're praised for looking good, offering good value, and being versatile enough for various occasions. Sizing can be hit-or-miss for some, but not for me.

These Are NOT Skinny Jeans.
Size: 18, Color: Medium Blue
Unfortunately, I'm having to return mine. I purchased these expecting to receive skinny jeans and these are not skinny jeans. These are a relaxed fit, straight leg jean. I'm not too sure about the stretch because they were so big in the leg, I couldn't really tell how well they do stretch. They feel like a nice quality jean other than the fit and they're comfortable around the waist.

Weird garbage
Size: 12 Long, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Very strange fit, saw the reviews about weird fit but so many others said great fit so that's on me. Got them for under 10 bucks so hard to complain..... however..... Got 12 Long. They are at least a size too big but I generally do that to accommodate shrinking especially length. On what planet these would be considered long I dunno. I'm only 5'8". If you pull them up to where crotch is not sagging, barely to my ankles. Almost long enough if you want the crotch to droop several inches. Fit loose but comfortable in butt and thighs. The waist however is about 4 inches too big and gaps horribly. Almost like waist is actually wider than hips. Strange. Not skinny cut except for right at ankle. The left leg inseam is cut horribly crooked and runs down almost front of leg so altering them is not worth the trouble. They are fairly thick and do stretch, like the denim wash very much. So disappointed. So the great deal I thought I was getting was garbage . Should have know for that price they were unloading their trash

Perfect fit for 5'10
Size: 10 Long, Color: White
White jeans size 10 long fit perfectly. Im 5'10 130 pounds
Always have trouble with length and overall fit. These were on sale for less than 11$! Material has some stretch, not too much. I'm going to hang to dry don't want any shrinkage. Fit is less tight than an earlier version of these jeans.
