The author proposes, as an introduction, a captivating autobiographical: the genesis of the book seems to have its roots in his first professional experience, 16 years in a cheese factory. His second hapax existential ... The plant is described as a "beast" unclean: the grueling tasks to accomplish and small despotic leaders ... Already, the reader is caught up physically nausea, sticky atmosphere ... The tone is given and is pushed, the physical sense of the term throughout the reading.
A virulent and detailed indictment against all forms of injustice, which are carefully examined, and a hymn to insubordination. So this political philosophy, especially explosive but constructive. She takes the reader on a whirlwind energetic and invites him to pursue the breach opened by May 68.
He summons Aristotle, Cicero, Dante, the physiocrats, Leibniz, Hegel, Darwin, Bakunin, Marx, Proudhon, Adam Smith, Blanqui, Nietzsche, Foucault, Deleuze, Bataille, Leiris, Bourdieu ... A profusion of reflections declined to a mode powerful and warlike but without resentment. It brews concepts as if they were the "matter".
If the outlook is gloomy, the author does not leave us without remediation ... quite the contrary. One leaves "doped".
