THE FIERCE PHILOSOPHY. Anarchist Exercises. Onfray, Michel

“The crime of individuals functions as a counterpoint to the crime of governments. In all parts of the planet, States pollute, subjugate minorities, declare wars, quell uprisings, repress demonstrations, imprison opponents, practice torture, arbitrary detentions, hang, arrest, everywhere they buy silence and complicity, They divert funds in pharaonic amounts and other precious things partially reported by the daily press. That violence finds nothing above it, and that is what makes it call itself legitimate.”

In this volume, Michel Onfray brings together his reflections on current events on the planet. The renowned French philosopher, located from a hedonistic, atheist and libertarian perspective, analyzes the end of nation-states, the disastrous pre-eminence of the three monotheisms, imperialism and the neocolonial wars carried out by the superpowers. Twenty-five texts—published in the magazine Corsica—in which, according to Rimbaud's expression, fierce philosophy is manifested.
