Cynismes

Michel Onfray

Uncover the ancient philosophers known as "The Cynics" and their unorthodox approach to life in Michel Onfray's latest book. These individuals rejected abstract ideas in favor of action, humor, and irony. They advocated for taboo practices such as cannibalism and incest while also promoting a hedonistic lifestyle. While their beliefs may seem shocking, Onfray argues that modern society has much to learn from them. This thought-provoking read offers a unique perspective on philosophy and serves as a remedy for the vulgar cynicism prevalent in today's culture.
