After several works, also very valuable, by Michel Onfray, we now present this vigorous book that exposes his libertarian political ideology, built on the basis of left-wing Nietzscheanism, among whose main figures Foucault, Derrida and Bourdieu stand out. Based on his childhood and adolescence experiences in the cheese factory of his hometown, he develops the image of capitalist society as the great Leviathan that insatiably devours the humanity of human beings, and presents, on the model of Dantesque hell, that of our current world, with its cohort of exploited, marginalized, vagrants, crazy people, prostitutes, sick people, old people, criminals, political refugees, immigrants, etc., distributed in the different circles of Hell.

Then he exposes the principles of his social utopia based on philosophical hedonism, which he defends in book after book and whose maxim is "Enjoy and make people enjoy." He proposes this project as the culmination of the May '68 movement and against any ideology with idealistic roots that invokes universal, absolute concepts or transcendences beyond death, to vindicate the rights of the body that suffers and enjoys in this world. That is why he distances himself from all policies that lead to totalitarianism and suffering with his sights set on the peace and happiness of a future that never comes. But that does not mean he stops advocating the creative role of disobedience, resistance, insubordination and insurrection.
