Title : Antimanual of Philosophy - Michel Onfray - Book
Summary :
One can philosophize in slippers, calmly, without putting the world as it is into play; one can also use philosophy like dynamite - in a Nietzschean way. This is what Michel Onfray proposes in this Antimanual which philosophically questions The Real World from very contemporary questions: slavery generated by liberal societies, the new limits of freedom drawn by the Net, the possible genetic production of monsters, the widespread hatred for contemporary art, the passion for lies among politicians, etc. The commonplaces of the time, the taboos stemming from monotheistic religions, conservative political reflexes, worldly hypocrisies, the values useful for social lies are thus undermined with humor and irony - values defended by the cynical philosophers of ancient Greece. In these pages we will find masturbators, baboons, hashish smokers, cannibals, athletes, police officers, wardens, former Nazis, presidents of the republic and a whole baroque fauna seated around a philosophical buffet that Socrates would not have denied. This book transfigures the constraints of the school curriculum of Michel Onfray's final year students into a series of Socratic and alternative lessons in which jubilation does not prevent thought - since on the contrary it makes it possible.
