This first opus of the brief encyclopedia of the world reveals a powerful philosophy and intimacy anchored in reality. With the maturity of lived experiences and scientific and historical teachings, the thought of Michel Onfray comes to put down the world of pure ideas where dogmas and screens enclose man in a cavern of fiction. Michel Onfray speaks of his father, in life and in death, and the decisive experience of mourning. It tackles the facets of time, the nature of the body, the spirit, and of civilizations. On the track of the Gypsy people, we learn, for example, to reclaim an ancestral and calm vision of time. Cosmos is the result of a thought based on the natural and sensitive truths of the world around us, a practical and exciting philosophy intended to make us fully grasp the present.
