«Traité d'athéologie» is the philosophical essay by Michel Onfray, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (315 pages, in French).
The essay argues that Judaism, Christianity and Islam share a death drive and a common contempt for reason, freedom, sexuality and bodies. Against the supposed current «return of God», Onfray defends the urgency of an argued, solid and militant atheism, from a materialist and anti-Platonic perspective.
Winner of the Cálamo Prize 2006. Originally published in 2005 with the subtitle «Physique de la métaphysique»; this paperback edition is from 4 October 2006.
Aimed at readers of contemporary philosophy and those following the debate on atheism, secularism and religion.
