"The real has not occurred", read this detailed, sometimes a little confusing, the Don Quixote of Cervantes, raises the philosophical question never really cut of what the Real, which has the strange ability, semble- he, to split at will and thus to advance hidden most often. Masked by this powerful mechanism of our psychology, which easily slips into the denial to escape the harsh reality too. The principle of Don Quixote (wishful realities) results we continually hide the real, which should be, according to Onfray, the true foundation of a radiating hedonism Onfray, prolix and virtuoso as usual, makes us think about it here "principle of Don Quixote," which transforms reality into an ideal (or ideas) in order not to sink into the mundane. . In short, we often take bladders for lanterns. Certainly, the sense of reality should drive us further. Yet can we really do without "fictions" of course not only literary and artistic, but also religious type eg.? The problem is this: a novel itself the fiction and we are warned. Religions are also fictions according Onfray. Their mistake would be to provide for ultimate truths, metaphysical knowledge as they are found in Plato. Undeniably, the prolific Onfray gives generously to believe in his "The reality has not happened," to question the meaning we want to give to our existence.
